Order of algae
Chlorococcales is a formerly recognized order of green algae in the class Chlorophyceae . As of February 2022[update] Chlorococcaceae was placed in the order Chlamydomonadales .[ 1]
Conventionally, many groups of coccoid green algae were lumped in the order Chlorococcales sensu lato by Komárek & Fott (1983), based on Pascher's (1918) idea of establishing orders according to life forms. However, coccoid green algae are currently placed in several orders of Chlorophyceae , Trebouxiophyceae , Ulvophyceae (e.g., Chlorocystis Prasinophyceae within the division Chlorophyta , or in the division Charophyta (e.g., Chlorokybales , Desmidiales ).[ 2]
