Talk:Chlamydomonas

Classification
Chlamydomonas is not a Protist but a Plant --Kupirijo 12:30, 19 October 2006 (UTC) I have checked the history and it is very annoying when people change it to Protists without discussion. --Kupirijo 12:30, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Actually, Chlamydomonas is currently considered to be a protist. The division to which it belongs, the Chlorophyta, has been reclassified under the kingdom Protista following recent biochemical studies. Please refer to the American Society of Plant Biologists at http://www.aspb.org/education/bookmarks/chlamydomonas1.cfm.
 * It does not seem to be a recent reclassification. Considering it Plantae is based on genomic data. --Kupirijo 05:58, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I am an A-level student in Malta and according to notes provided by our lecturer who is very experienced Chlamydomonas is classified under Protoctista. I strongly recomand that it is changed as it is missleading to people reading the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.133.23.249 (talk) 10:43, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Classification again
Chlorophyta is considered to be part of Plantae in all others articles about green algae classification in Wikipedia. For the sake of consistency, either it should also be the case here, or all the other pages have to be changed. Chlamydomonas cannot be the only Chlorophyta classified in Protists!...

As Kupirijo said, newer classifications are based on genomic data. For all references, see Plant, and http://www.amjbot.org/cgi/reprint/91/10/1535.pdf for an extensive review on genetic evidence of relationship between green algae and land plants. It is unlikely that reclassification may have taken place following biochemical studies. The American Society of Plant Biologists (at http://www.aspb.org/education/bookmarks/chlamydomonas1.cfm) doesn't even say that, and additionnaly, all the links there are broken, so the content may not really be up-tp-date :)

In phylogenetic classifications, Protists do not appear any more.

Since the classification is rather controversial, and again for the sake of consistency, please retroclassify Chlamydomonas in the kingdom Plantae.

CONTROVERSY OF CHLYDOMONAS WHETHER THEY ARE IN ALAGE OR PROTISTA KINGDOM.

Chlydomonas are the part of algae kingdom (major part of plant kingdom). Recently there was a controversy weather they are the part of kingdom algae or kingdom Protista. The one who proposed that they are part of kingdom Protista claimed it on the basis of its level of organisation (that is unicellular). But the fact is that our taxonomist no more uses the level of organisation as only the criteria. The classification is more about phylogenetic relationship,phytochemistry And not only morphology but also anatomy. We know that Chlydomonas are photosynthetic even though they are unicellular. Thus this controversy ended with a good note that chlamydomonas are from phylum Algae.

External links modified
Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Chlamydomonas. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
 * Added archive https://archive.is/20130723074505/http://www.seaweed.ie/algae/chlamydomonas.php to http://www.seaweed.ie/algae/chlamydomonas.php
