Choricystis
''Choricystis'' is a genus of green algae in the class Trebouxiophyceae, considered a characteristic picophytoplankton in freshwater ecosystems. ''Choricystis'', especially the type species ', has been proposed as an effective source of fatty acids for biofuels. ''Choricystis'' algacultures have been shown to survive on wastewater. In particular, ''Choricystis'' has been proposed as a biological water treatment system for industrial waste produced by the processing of dairy goods. ''Choricystis'' has been observed as an endosymbiont of freshwater sponges. They have been found in natural bodies of water in South America, North America, Europe, Asia, and Antarctica. Use as a biofuel Triglycerides and other lipids can be transesterified to produce fatty acid methyl esters, the primary component of biodiesel fuels. Because of their high lipid content and rate of lipid production, ''Choricystis'' algae have been suggested as effective microalgae for industrial biofuel production. ...

Trebouxiophyceae
The Trebouxiophyceae are a class of green algae, in the division Chlorophyta. Their circumscription within the green algae is not well established due to the need for more genetic studies at higher levels within the group. Genera without intervening taxonomy include: * ''Choricystis'' * ''Crucigenia'' * ''Koliellopsis'' * '' Leptosira'' * ''Rhopalosolen'' * ''Viridiella ''Viridiella'' is a genus of green algae in the class Trebouxiophyceae. , AlgaeBase AlgaeBase is a global species database of information on all groups of algae, both marine and freshwater, as well as sea-grass.

Heinrich Leonhards Skuja
Heinrich Leonhards Skuja (1892–1972) was a botanist specialist of algae. Among the taxa he described is '' Achroonema,'' a genus of bacteria Bacteria (; singular: bacterium) are ubiquitous, mostly free-living organisms often consisting of one biological cell. They constitute a large domain of prokaryotic microorganisms. Typically a few micrometres in length, bacteria were am ... whose taxonomic placement is still uncertain. Publications * Skuja, H.
