A genus of small, free-swimming green algae consisting of colonial cells arranged in a spherical shape.
From Greek eu- (good, well) and dore (gift), literally meaning 'good gift.' The scientific name was given by German naturalist Georg Ehrenbach in the 19th century to describe these microscopic organisms.
Eudorina colonies are like tiny living soccer balls made of algae—each cell has its own flagella that beat in coordination so the whole sphere can swim through water, showing that cooperation works even at microscopic scales.
