Hyalochlorella marina, the only species in the genus Hyalochlorella and also known as Dermocystidium sp., is a marine heterotrophic eukaryote with uncertain phylogenic position.[1][2]

Phylogeny

Hyalochlorella marina was first classified as a fungus under the name Dermocystidium sp.[3] Based morphology and development, it has been classified as a Chlorophyta related to Chlorella but different from the parasite microalgae Prototheca.[1] It also shows similarities to more recently described Ichthyosporea Sphaeroforma species, in particular Sphaeroforma tapetis (previously known as Pseudoperkinsus tapetis).[4][5][6][7][8]

Ecology

It is an epiphyte of marine seaweeds but has also been isolated from seawater. Hyalochlorella is found on several shores of east and west coast of the United States,[9] Canada,[10] the United Kingdom,[2][11] and off the Faroe Islands.[12]
