Chlorellaceae are a family of green algae in the order Chlorellales.[1] About 250 species are currently accepted in the family. Members of the family are distributed worldwide and are common in a variety of freshwater, terrestrial and marine environments.[2]
Members of the family Chlorellaceae are important ecologically, mainly as primary producers.[2] Algae such as Chlorella are important model organisms for plant physiology and biochemistry, because of they are easy to cultivate and grow rapidly.[3] Additionally, many members are rich in lipids, carbohydrates and vitamins, making them of interest in the field of biotechnology.[2] Meanwhile, genera such as Prototheca are of clinical significance as pathogens of humans and other animals.[4]
