GC. The phylogenetic analysis of ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase (rbcL) and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) nucleotide sequence data revealed that this alga is closely related to C. sorokiniana. There are clear morphological differences between Chlorella sp. GC associated with Porpidia crustulata and the free-living C. sorokiniana, the former having a larger central pyrenoid. Based on our genetic and morphological characterization, the Chlorella photobiont of Porpidia crustulata is distinct from closely related Chlorella species.
