Dictyochloropsis is a genus of unicellular green alga of the phylum Chlorophyta. This genus consists of free-living algae which have a reticulate (net-like) chloroplast that varies slightly in morphology between species,[1][2][3] and that when mature always lacks a pyrenoid.[3] Dictyochloropsis is asexual and reproduces using autospores.[1]
Previously, many species of the morphologically similar genus Symbiochloris were incorrectly classified to this taxon. These species were recently reclassified on the basis of molecular DNA analyses.[3]
Dictyochloropsis is found in terrestrial environments all over the world,[2][4][5][6][7][8] but can live and grow in freshwater environments as well.[1][4] Recently, there has been promising research towards growing Dictyocloropsis in culture for the production of biofuels.[4]
