Beyond Chlamydomonas View in CoL
Our phylogenetic studies have clearly revealed that C. debaryana is closely related to the other species of Chlamydomonas , as was indicated by autolysin experiments (Schlösser, 1976, 1981, 1984, Matsuda et al., 1987). The SSU/ITS phylogeny demonstrated that C. debaryana seems to be more closely related to the Tetrabaenaceae , which was confirmed by approximately unbiased tests of user-defined trees. The phylogenies using ITS and rbc L revealed that this species represents an independent lineage among the Core- Reinhardtinia. Therefore, C. debaryana is not a member of Chlamydomonas and represents its own genus, which we propose here as follows:
