abstract = {The systematics of coccoid green algae is going through a
dramatic phase of change. Classical approaches using
morphological characters for the circumscription of taxa do
not adequately reflect the phylogenetic relationships.
Molecular data provide new insights into the phylogeny of
coccoid Chlorophyta. Whereas the content of the orders
Chlorococcales and Chlorellales needs to be reduced, the
order Sphaeropleales comprises more families than in the
traditional circumscription. According to molecular
biological investigations the Neochloridaceae,
Selenastraceae and Scenedesmaceae, formerly classified
within the Chlorococcales and later within the Chlorellales,
belong to the Sphaeropleales. The Hydrodictyaceae, formerly
a member of the Protosiphonales, axe also to be classified
in the Sphaeropleales. Some former members of the
Ulotrichales, which propagate by binary fission, cluster
together with autosporine coccoid taxa within the
Chlorellales, Trebouxiophyceae. In this study, by presenting
six new 18S rRNA gene sequences of chlorophytes we scroll
through a phylogenetic tree that contains the main
evolutionary lineages of the Chlorophyta, and we take up
different topics of current interest for green algal
systematists. (1) Chlorococcum robustum, formerly a member
of the Chlorococcales s. str. is shown to be closely related
to Chlamydopodium vacuolata; both belong to the
Chlamydomonadales. (2) Pectodictyon pyramidale, formerly
grouped with the Radiococcaceae, is closely related to
Coelastrum reticulatum and both, like other coelastracean
taxa, belong to the Scenedesmaceae, Sphaeropleales. (3)
Pseudodietyosphaerium jurisii is a member of the Mychonastes
clade containing picoplanktonic taxa. This clade is sister
group to the Oedogoniales at the base of the Chlorophyceae.
A new order will need to be established eventually to
accommodate this clade. Whereas the position of (4)
Lagerheimia genevensis within the Oocystaceae was confirmed,
the former crucigenoid species (5) Cracigeniella
rectangularis is to be transferred to this family. The
latter two taxa demonstrate that the morphological diversity
in the Oocystaceae is wider than expected. This observation
is discussed in comparison to the family Chlorellaceae. (6)
Catena viridis a former member of the Ulotrichales belongs
to the Chlorellales, Trebouxiophyceae.},
