Characteristics of Chlorodendrophyceae:      

 

Chlorodendrophyceae is a class of algae with a worldwide distribution, inhabiting both saltwater and freshwater environments.

They are unicellular green algae with flagella, characterized by the presence of scales fused to the cell wall, forming a theca composed of 1-5 layers of scales that vary in shape and composition. They inhabit the water column or on surfaces. Some species live in symbiosis with other organisms, such as protozoa or animals like flatworms.
