Order of algae
The Chlorellales are an order of green algae in the class Trebouxiophyceae .[ 1]
The Chlorellales include mostly freshwater or terrestrial (rarely marine), coccoid algae.[ 2] Molecular phylogenetic studies mostly tend to find Chlorellales to consist of two sister clades, corresponding to Chlorellaceae and Oocystaceae ; however, in some studies the two are not sister to each other, making Chlorellales not monophyletic.[ 3]
Genera of uncertain placement include:[ 4]
