Spondylomoraceae is a family of algae in the order Chlamydomonadales. It consists of various freshwater, microscopic algae. Members of the Spondylomoraceae are coenobial flagellate organisms with the overall form typically resembling a mulberry. It consists of multiple rings of cells stacked upon each other. Rings consist of two or four cells, connected to each other by long gelatinous strands, with cells of each ring alternating. Individual cells are similar in morphology to Chlamydomonas, with chloroplasts and pyrenoids, but may be slightly deformed due to contact with adjacent cells. Cells

Palmellopsidaceae is a green algae family in the order Chlamydomonadales. Members of the Palmellopsidaceae consist of cells that are solitary or in groups of several to many, often forming large, macroscopic colonies. Cells are often surrounded by a gelatinous layer, which may be colored yellow to brown due to deposits of iron hydroxide and manganese compounds. Some taxa have true flagella enabling the cells some limited movement. Reproduction occurs by the formation of flagellated swarmers or zoospores.

Pyramimonadaceae is a family of green algae.

Pedinomonas is a genus of green algae in the family Pedinomonadaceae. The genus has also had species classified in Micromonas.

Actinochloris is a genus of green algae, in the family Actinochloridaceae, with a single species Actinochloris sphaerica. It is a subaerial to terrestrial alga. Actinochloris consists of solitary cells. They are initially broadly ellipsoid to ovoid but always spherical when mature, and up to 85 μm in diameter. The cell wall is smooth and firm, and is thick in mature cells. Cells contain a single large chloroplast with many lobes; there is a large thick central piece containing a single large pyrenoid. From the pyrenoid, there are many irregularly arranged lobes that branch out to the

Palmellopsis is a genus of green algae, specifically of the Palmellopsidaceae. They are either planktonic or attached to substrates in fresh water, or in aeroterrestrial habitats. Palmellopsis consists of cells embedded in amorphous, gelatinous mucilage. The cells contain a cup-shaped chloroplast with a pyrenoid, as well as a single nucleus and two contractile vacuoles. Asexual reproduction in this genus occurs by autospores or zoospores or by the fragmentation of the colonies. Zoospores have two equal flagella with a small stigma. Palmellopsis is distinguished from the similar genera

Didymocystis is a genus of green algae in the family Oocystaceae. It is found in freshwater ponds and lakes, and has been reported from several continents. Didymocystis consists of two-celled colonies, termed coenobia, embedded in a mucilaginous matrix. The two cells are ellipsoidal, attached to each other by their long axes. The cell wall is smooth or covered in brownish ribs or warts. Cells contain a single, parietal chloroplast. Asexual reproduction occurs by the formation of two or four autospores arranged into one or two coenobia. The coenobia are released by the partial dissolution of

Coenocystis is a genus of green algae in the family Radiococcaceae. It is planktonic in freshwater habitats such as lakes, rivers, and bogs. It has been reported from Europe and the Americas, but probably has a cosmopolitan distribution. Coenocystis consists of microscopic colonies of cells embedded in a structureless mucilage. Cells are ellipsoid, ovoid, or spindle-shaped, straight or curved with rounded apices. Each cell contains a single cup-shaped chloroplast with a single pyrenoid. Asexual reproduction occurs by the formation of autospores. Four, eight or 16 (rarely two) autospores are
