Unicellular or colonial ulvophyceans live in marine. The chloroplast genome sequence is reported for Oltmannsiellopsis viridis (NIES-360) (Pombert et al. 2006, BMC Biol. 4: 3).

The Oltmannsiellopsidales is flagellate (Oltmannsiellopsis) or coccoid. The flagellate species are unicellular or characteristically colonial. Sessil species are unicellular or palmelloid colonyBThe anterior tip of the flagellate cell is depressed from which four flagella emerges. The basal bodies are arranged in the characteristic zigzag pattern.
