  • Picochlorum maculatum (Butcher) Henley, Hironaka, Guillou, M.Buchheim, J.Buchheim, M.Fawley & K.Fawley

Picochlorum is a genus of green algae in the class Trebouxiophyceae.[1][3] As of February 2022, AlgaeBase regarded the name as illegitimate.[1]

It is a native marine microalga fit for cultivation at high growth rates, showing a 2-hour multiplying time in ideal conditions.[4]
