Volvox globator is a species of green algae of the genus "Volvox". "Volvox" diverged from unicellular ancestors approximately . Antonie van Leeuwenhoek first reported observations of "Volvox" in 1700. They also discovered and characterized VChR1 in the multicellular algae "Volvox carteri". Organisms which show approximate spherical symmetry include the freshwater green alga "Volvox". Other examples of colonial organisation in protozoa are Volvocaceae, such as Eudorina and Volvox. In "Pleodorina" and "Volvox", most cells are somatic and only a few are reproductive. La Colonie Volvox was commissioned to perform at the European Parliament in Brussels. Volvox (1700)- Volvox is a genus of chlorophytes, a type of green algae. Sexual development in the freshwater green alga "Volvox" is initiated by a glycoprotein pheromone. Simon joined the Macedonian avante-garde and jazz fusion group La Colonie Volvox in 2009. "Volvox" is a genus of chlorophytes. In 1855 he produced papers on the sexuality of "Sphaeroplea annulina" and later "Volvox globator". "Volvox" is a polyphyletic genus in the volvocine green algae clade.
