Pseudodictyochloris is a genus of green algae, in the family Actinochloridaceae.[1] It is found in soils.[2]
Pseudodictyochloris is a unicellular organism. Young cells are ellipsoidal to ovoid in shape, while adult cells are spherical. The chloroplast lines the periphery of the cell and is net-like with many perforations, with a few strands connected to the center. Chloroplasts lack pyrenoids. Cells are multinucleate (with many nuclei). Asexual reproduction occurs by the formation of zoospores or autospores.[2]
