Asteromonadaceae are a family of algae in the order Chlamydomonadales.[1]
Asteromonadaceae consists of cells that are angular in cross section, with longitudinal ribs. Cells have two or four flagella. They are mostly found in marine or saline habitats, with a few freshwater representatives.[2]
Formerly, genera such as Aulacomonas and Collodictyon have been placed in this family.[2] However, these have been placed in their own family that is phylogenetically very distant from other flagellate groups.[3]
