However, coccoid green algae are currently placed in several orders of Chlorophyceae, Trebouxiophyceae, Ulvophyceae ( e . g ., " Chlorocystis " ) and Prasinophyceae within the division Chlorophyta, or in the division Charophyta ( e . g ., Chlorokybales, Desmidiales ).

"O . tauri " was discovered in 1994 in the Thau lagoon, France, in a year-long study of the picoplankton population of the lagoon using flow cytometry . " O . tauri " was found to be the main component of the picoplankton population in the lagoon, and images of cells produced by transmission electron microscopy revealed the smallest yet described free-living eukaryotic cells . " O . tauri " was immediately placed in the class Prasinophyceae based on the presence of characteristic chlorophyll pigments and Chlorophyceae-related carotenoids, and this classification was confirmed by further work.
