Chlorosarcinaceae is a family of chlorophyte green algae, in the order Chlamydomonadales. Members of this genus are found in soils.
Members of the family Chlorosarcinaceae usually occur as irregular packet-shaped colonies, rarely singly. Cells are spherical to irregular, particularly flattened at the walls when in contact with neighboring cells. The chloroplast is varied in morphology; it may be parietal and cup- or mantle-shaped, or centrally located and irregular or reticulate. Pyrenoids are present in most genera. Reproduction occurs via cell division, and via the formation of zoospores.
