abstract = {Chlorella is one of the archetypical forms of coccoid green
algae and one of the best-studied phototrophic eukaryotes.
However, its systematics remains enigmatic due to conflicts
between morphological and molecular phylogenetic approaches.
The sequences of the 18S ribosomal RNA gene of nine strains
of Chlorella and related taxa, and the ITS2 region of 17
strains of Chlorellaceae were determined and included in
phylogenetic analyses. The secondary structure of the ITS2
region of C. vulgaris was compared to that of Parachlorella
beijerinckii. All phylogenetic analyses showed that the
Chlorellaceae form a clade within the Trebouxiophyceae. The
Chlorellaceae studied here are divided into two sister
groups: (1) the Parachlorella-clade with Parachlorella
beijerinckii gen. et sp. nov. and P. kessleri comb. nov. as
well as Dicloster acuatus and Closteriopsis acicularis; and
(2) the Chlorella-clade including the 'true' spherical
Chlorella species C. vulgaris, C. lobophora and C.
sorokiniana. The latter are intermixed with taxa that differ
in morphology and were formerly classified in other families
of coccoid green algae: Actinastrum hantzschii (formerly
Coelastraceae), Diacanthos belenophorus (formerly
Oocystaceae), Dictyosphaerium pulchellum (formerly
Botryococcaceae), Didymogenes anomala and D. palatina
(formerly Scenedesmaceae) and Micractinium pusillum
(formerly Micractiniaceae). It was shown that morphological
criteria traditionally used for classification (e.g. spines,
mucilaginous envelopes or the formation of colonies or
coenobia) are burdened with a high degree of phenotypic
plasticity. These plastic traits represent adaptations to
environmental factors in order to optimize floating in the
water column and to resist grazing pressure. A genus and
species concept in Chlorellaceae remains provisional,
because, in most cases, there is still a lack of classical
and molecular approaches to identify clear phylogenetic
lineages.},
