Chloromonas Perforata
''Chloromonas'' is a genus of green algae in the family Chlamydomonadaceae. It is closely related to the model green algae, ''Chlamydomonas'', and traditionally has been distinguished mainly through the absence of a pyrenoid. Species of ''Chloromonas'' occupy a variety of habitats, including soil, temporary pools of fresh water and eutrophic lakes. A number of species are adapted to living on snow, making them snow algae. The most northerly location at which this algae has been observed is Lake Bienville, Quebec, 55°N. Description ''Chloromonas'' is a unicellular organism with cells that are ranging from spherical, ovoid, cylindrical, or spindle-shaped. There are two equal flagella on the anterior end of the cell, with or without a papilla. As single large chloroplast fills the cell, and may be cup-shaped and variously lobed. Chloroplasts lack pyrenoids. An eyespot is present in most species. There is a single nucleus typically embedded in the center of the cell. Reproducti ...

Genus
Genus (; : genera ) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family (taxonomy), family as used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. Phylogeneti ...
