The Mesostigmatophyceae is a type of basal green algae . They are usually found in fresh water .[2] [3] [4] Mesostigmatophyceae can be be a sister group to all green algae , or as sister to all Streptophyta .[5] [6] [7]
There are many ways to place the Mesostigmatophyceae into a category. One popular to place it is to have the category have only one genus , the Mesostigma .[1] [8] A different way to categorize is to put it into two clades ; Chlorokybus and Spirotaenia .[3] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] It is also common to put Chlorokybus in a different class as Chlorokybophyceae.[14] Below is a common way to sort the categories.
Streptophyta /
Mesostigmatophyceae
Mesostigma viride
Spirotaenia
Chlorokybophyceae
