Abstract

A multimethod approach was used to characterize unicellular green algae that were traditionally assigned to the genus Chlorella Beijerinck and to resolve their phylogenetic relationships within the Chlorophyta. Biochemical, physiological, and ultrastructural characters, together with molecular data such as DNA base composition and DNA hybridization values, were compared with a molecular phylogeny based on complete 18S rRNA sequences. Our results show that Chlorella taxa are dispersed over two classes of chlorophytes, the Trebouxiophyceae and the Chlorophyceae. We propose that only four species should be kept in the genus Chlorella (Chlorophyta, Trebouxiophyceae): C. vulgaris Beijerinck, C. lobophora Andreyeva, C. sorokiniana Shih. et Krauss, and C. kessleri Fott et Nováková. Common characteristics of these taxa are glucosamine as a dominant cell wall component and the presence of a double thylakoid bisecting the pyrenoid matrix. Norspermine, norspermidine, and secondary carotenoids are never produced. Other “Chlorella” species belong to different taxa within the Trebouxiophyceae (“C.” protothecoides=Auxenochlorella protothecoides[Krüger] Kalina et Punčochářová, “C.” ellipsoidea, “C.” mirabilis, “C.” saccharophila, and “C.” luteoviridis) and Chlorophyceae (“C.” zofingiensis and “C.” homosphaera=Mychonastes homosphaera Kalina et Punčochářová). The latter taxa can easily be recognized by the production of secondary carotenoids under nitrogen‐deficient conditions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
