All known species of the genera Bracteacoccus, Spongiochloris, and Dictyochloris, and some of the species of Neochloris and Spongiococcum are capable of growing heterotrophically in darkness in a glucose-salts medium. In contrast, all known species of Chlorococcum are obligate photoautotrophs. Possible relationships between these results and certain morphological characteristics are discussed.
所有已知的 Bracteacoccus、Spongiochloris 和 Dictyochloris 属的物种，以及一些 Neochloris 和 Spongiococcum 物种，在葡萄糖盐培养基中可以在黑暗中异养生长。相比之下，所有已知的 Chlorococcum 物种都是专性光合自养生物。讨论了这些结果与某些形态特征之间的可能关系。
