The essential oil and its main components (i.e., proazulenes) are useful taxonomic characters also in the genera Ankistrodesmus and Scenedesmus.

Unicellular green algae of the genus Chlorella are able to synthesize essential oils. Some guajanolides (i.e., proazulenes) were shown to be its main components. Certain species produce as much oil as do higher plants. Formation of essential oils can serve as a taxonomic character in the genus Chlor
