Keriochlamys styriaca Pascher ( Fig. 2 View Fig f-h)
References: Komárek and Fott 1983: 607, pl. 170, fig. 4; Shubert 2003: 288, fig. 15E.
Occurrence site: Chukdong reservoir.
Description: This species is free floating and globular or semiglobular in shape. It is readily identified by the thick wall, which has alveoli that refract light. Each cell has a parietal chloroplast containing a pyrenoid. The cells are 8-10 μm in diameter.
Distribution: Southeastern United Sates (Dillard, 1989), India ( Komárek and Fott, 1983). Austria ( Komárek and Fott, 1983).
Specimen: NIBRCL0000112292; DAEJIN-20150603-2.
Remark: This species is unicellular or solitary, but has four autospores in a thick mother cell wall formed during asexual reproduction. Shubert (2003) reported this species in phytoplankton, and Komárek and Fott (1983) reported it from a highland bog. The alveoli in the thick wall is a distinctive characteristic for identification of this species. It was initially classified in the family Chlorellaceae , order Chlorococcales in the class Chlorophyceae, but Guiry and Guiry (2016) moved this species to the family Oocystaceae , order Chlorellales in the class Trebouxiophyceae.
