Chlorococcum Chlorococcoides
''Chlorococcum'' is a genus of green algae, in the family Chlorococcaceae. The alga may be useful in the flocculation of lipids from wastewater. It can be found in fresh water, but is more commonly found in soil or subaerial habitats (such as growing on tree bark, wood, stones, or plaster). ''Chlorococcum'' consists of spherical cells which are single or sometimes borne in small clusters; when colonial, there is sometimes a thin layer of mucilage. Cells contain a single cup-shaped, parietal chloroplast with one pyrenoid. ''Chlorococcum'' reproduces by the formation of autospores or zoospores. The zoospores have two flagella of equal length. ''Chlorococcum'' was traditionally defined using morphological characteristics. However, using molecular phylogenetics, the genus was found to be polyphyletic. Therefore, the genus was revised, with several new genera split off (e.g. ''Alvikia''). Species , AlgaeBase accepted the following species: *''Chlorococcum acidum'' P.A.Archibald & Bol ...

Species
A species () is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction. It is the basic unit of Taxonomy (biology), classification and a taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity. Other ways of defining species include their karyotype, DNA sequence, morphology (biology), morphology, behaviour, or ecological niche. In addition, palaeontologists use the concept of the chronospecies since fossil reproduction cannot be examined. The most recent rigorous estimate for the total number of species of eukaryotes is between 8 and 8.7 million. About 14% of these had been described by 2011. All species (except viruses) are given a binomial nomenclature, two-part name, a "binomen". The first part of a binomen is the name of a genus to which the species belongs. The second part is called the specific name (zoology), specific name or the specific ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
