chlorophytes
Chlorophyta latin

Relationships among the groups making up the chlorophytes are not fully resolved.

China produces a larger variety of seaweeds which also includes chlorophytes.

Chlorophyta is a division of green algae, informally called chlorophytes.

The chlorophytes are considerably more diverse (with around 700 genera) and were originally marine, although some groups have since spread into fresh water.

Volvox is a genus of chlorophytes, a type of green algae.

Some botanists recommend expanding the existing plant kingdom to include charophyceans and chlorophytes.

In its gut contents were found filamentous blue-green algae, chlorophytes, diatoms and bark.

Alternative classifications of the chlorophytes have been proposed in which this class is replaced by at least six separate taxa.

Green algae (chlorophytes)

Proterozoic stromatolite fossils may be primordial forms of the eukaryote chlorophytes (that is, green algae).

The only groups to exhibit three dimensional multicellular thalli are the reds and browns, and some chlorophytes.

Chlorophytes are the acknowledged progenitors of embryophytes (mosses, ferns, gymnosperms and angiosperms).

Polytoma is a genus of colorless, free-living chlorophytes similar in form to Chlamydomonas but lacking chlorophyll.

Several putative chlorophytes have been discovered in the Rhynie assemblage (Mackiella and Rhynchertia).

Zeaxanthin is also found in Prochlorococcus, red algae and as a minor pigment in some chlorophytes and eustigmatophytes.

In newer classifications, it refers to one of the two clades making up the Viridiplantae, which are the chlorophytes and the streptophytes or charophytes.

However, the division between chlorophytes and streptophytes and the evolution of embryophytes from within the latter group, as shown in the cladogram below, are well established.

Chlorophytes (Nitella, Valonia, Ulva, Chara)

The phytoplankton community includes diatoms, chlorophytes, flagellated protozoa, Microcystis aeruginosa, and Nodularia spumigena.

It has been aligned with the chlorophytes and rhodophytes; whilst the latter is the most widely held opintion, some authors still consider a green algal affinity possible.

These algae are generally referred to as zooxanthellae (dinoflagellates) and zoochlorellae (chlorophytes) and many polyps concurrently host more than one type of alga within their tissues.

In a comparison of 37 species of marine microalgae, including dinoflagellates, rhaphidophytes, and chlorophytes, Marshall et al. also found a direct relationship between cell size and the amount of superoxide produced.

Some botanists recommend expanding the existing plant kingdom to include charophyceans and chlorophytes while others consider Charophyceae to be a class within either the divisions Chlorophyta, Streptophytina, or Streptophyta.

Phytoplankton are categorized into cyanobacteria (also called blue-green algae/bacteria), various types of algae (red, green, brown, and yellow-green), diatoms, dinoflagellates, euglenoids, coccolithophorids, cryptomonads, chrysophytes, chlorophytes, prasinophytes, and silicoflagellates.

Phylogenetic trees based on mitochondrial SSUrRNA and LSUrRNA sequences including Chlamydomonas reinhardtii led to the assumption that the mitochondrial lineage of embryophytes and chlorophytes is incoherent (24, 23, 43).

Sea lettuce belongs to the Chlorophyta, or green seaweed group.

The division Chlorophyta (green algae) is considered the ancestor of true plants.

Some species of Chlorophyta are heterotrophic, either free-living or parasitic.

Originally, the Chlorophyta were assumed to be in option (a), but this may be the modern condition.

Chlorophyta are a division of green algae.

Members of the Chlorophyta also form symbiotic relationships with protozoa, sponges and cnidarians.

The differences between modern Chlorophyta and vascular land plants cannot be explained in full on the basis of lignification alone.

Older classifications, as on the left, treated all green algae as a single division of the plant kingdom under the name Chlorophyta.

The algae are of the phylum Chlorophyta or Cyanophyta.

The Chlorophyta (a name that has also been used for all green algae) are the sister group to the group from which the land plants evolved.

Chlorophyta - green algae (part)

The Prasinophytes are a class of unicellular green algae in the Division Chlorophyta.

Chlorella is a genus of single-cell green algae, belonging to the phylum Chlorophyta.

In taxonomy, Picocystis is a genus of algae, specifically of the Chlorophyta.

Her main studies were in the ecology of the macroalgae, especially Fucus and the green algae - Chlorophyta.

The fungus belongs to the division Ascomycota, while the alga is a member of the division Chlorophyta.

Population analysis of reproductive cell structures of Acetabularia acetabulum (Chlorophyta).

Haematococcus pluvialis is a freshwater species of Chlorophyta from the family Haematococcaceae.

Codium is a genus of seaweed in the Chlorophyta of the Order Bryopsidales.

In May 2006, Nonomura filed an international patent application disclosing novel growth and harvesting processes for the Chlorophyta.

A possible classification when Chlorophyta refers to one of the two clades of the Viridiplantae is shown below.

The monophyletic Chlorophyta and Charophyceae are classified under Viridiplantae.
