Pseudomuriella

Pseudomuriella is a genus of green algae, specifically of the class Chlorophyceae.

It is the sole genus of the family Pseudomuriellaceae.

Each cell has multiple chloroplasts lining the outside of the cell; each chloroplast is saucer-shaped when young and divided into multiple segments when older.

[3] Pseudomuriella reproduces asexually, mainly by autospores,[3] but sometimes by aplanospores or biflagellated zoospores as well.

[4] Morphologically, the genus is essentially indistinguishable from Bracteacoccus and Chromochloris, although Pseudomuriella seems to reproduce mostly by autospores.
