Taxonomic note
"... Symbiococcum hydrae Rahat et Reich, the symbiont of Hydra magnipapillata Ito, clearly belongs to the Chlorophyceae (Rahat and Reich, 1989; 1991). The phylogenetic position of this species remains unclear because of lack of type culture." (Pröschold et al. 2011: 358). - (06 June 2018) - M.D. Guiry
