Pandorina is a genus of green algae in the family Volvocaceae. It is a common freshwater genus, and has a cosmopolitan distribution. [1] Along with other algae such as Volvox, Eudorina and Chlamydomonas, it is a model organism for studying the origins and …

Pandorina is cosmopolitan in fresh waters (Coleman, 1959, 1977). Although this genus was frequently confused with Eudorina, it is now distinguished by the difference in structure of extra-cellualr matrix of the vegetative colony and in sexual …

Pandorina Bory de Saint-Vincent 1824; 6 of 21 species descriptions are currently accepted taxonomically (Guiry and Guiry 2013). Order Chlamydomonadales; Family Volvocaceae . Morphology: Spherical or elliptical colony of bright green spherical biflagellate cells all of similar size and biflagellate.

Under the name of PANDORINA, we started to develop computer tools that ease and assist microscopic examinations, including the enumeration of algae, data entry, and provide the most precise biovolume and surface area calculations to date.

Pandorina is a genus of green algae composed of 8, 16, or sometimes 32 cells, held together at their bases to form a sack globular colony surrounded by mucilage. The cells are ovoid or slightly narrowed at one end to appear keystone- or pear-shaped.

Pandorina is the largest and most complex organism in the volvocine lineage that still exhibits isogamous sexual reproduction.

Pandorina are colonial flagellates. The colony measures from 50-250 microns across. Colonies have from 16 to 32 individual cells. The colony is arranged in a tight, small, hollow sphere and is related to the Volvox. Pandorina make food from sunlight, favor water with high organic content and are readily available from science supply companies.
