Scenedesmus obliquus is a green algae species of the genus Scenedesmus.
This chlorophyte species is notable for the genetic coding of its mitochondria which translate TCA as a stop codon and TAG as leucine.[1] This code is represented by NCBI translation table 22, Scenedesmus obliquus mitochondrial code.[2]
Both growth and photosynthesis of S. obliquus are affected by the presence of nano-sized microplastics, such as nano-polystyrene (nano-PS).[3]
