The green lineage (Viridiplantae) comprises the green algae and their descendants the land
plants, and is one of the major groups of oxygenic photosynthetic eukaryotes. Current …

This review discusses the main developments in the systematics of coccoid green algae
over the last three decades. The relationships of key groups of planktonic coccoid green …

Over the past two decades, molecular phylogenetic data have allowed evaluations of
hypotheses on the evolution of green algae based on vegetative morphological and …

This paper describes the characteristics of microalgal strains that originated out of an
isolation and screening project included within the National Alliance for Advanced Biofuels …

Chlorella is one of the archetypical forms of coccoid green algae and one of the best-studied
phototrophic eukaryotes. However, its systematics remains enigmatic due to conflicts …

Using a combined set of sequences of SSU and ITS regions of nuclear‐encoded ribosomal
DNA, the concept of the experimental algal genus Chlorella was evaluated. Conventionally …

The continued search and urgent need for renewable fuel sources have necessitated the
exploration of microalgae to identify relevant species for making biofuels. The aim of the …

Background Microalgae are gaining importance as sustainable production hosts in the fields
of biotechnology and bioenergy. A robust biomass accumulating strain of the genus …

Increasing energy demand and depleting fossil fuel sources have intensified the focus on
biofuel production. Microalgae have emerged as a desirable source for biofuel production …

Sterols are essential dietary nutrients for most aquatic invertebrates and an inadequate
dietary sterol supply can adversely influence various life history traits. The sterol composition …
