Pseudokirchneriella

Pseudokirchneriella is a genus of green algae in the family Selenastraceae.

It is found as phytoplankton in freshwater ponds, lakes, and pools.

[1] Pseudokirchneriella usually consists of colonies of cells within a thin layer of mucilage.

The cell wall is uniformly smooth without any ornamentation.

[1] Pseudokirchneriella was split off from its congener Kirchneriella by the absence of a pyrenoid.
