Chrysophyceae

class of algae

The synurids (order Synurales) are a small group of heterokont algae, found mostly in freshwater environments, characterized by cells covered in silica scales.

Dinobryon is a type of microscopic algae. It is one of the 22 genera in the family Dinobryaceae. Dinobryon are mixotrophs, capable of obtaining energy and carbon through photosynthesis and phagotrophy of bacteria. The genus comprises at least 37 described species. The best-known species are D. cylindricum and D. divergens, which come to the attention of humans annually due to transient blooms in the photic zone of temperate lakes and ponds. Such blooms may produce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that produce odors and affect water quality.

Chromulinales is an order of Chrysophyceae, golden-brown algae or golden algae. It was first identified and defined by Adolf Pascher (1881–1945) in 1910.

Ochromonas is a genus of algae belonging to the family Ochromonadaceae.

Synura is a genus of colonial chrysomonad algae covered with silica scales.Synura is characterized by its heterokont flagella, and is the most conspicuous and diverse genus of the order Synurales.

Hibberdiales is an order of Chrysophyceae (golden algae).

Mallomonas is a genus comprising unicellular algal eukaryotes and characterized by their intricate cell coverings made of silica scales and bristles. The group was first named and classified by Dr. Maximilian Perty in 1852. These organisms live in freshwater and are widely distributed around the world. Some well known species include Mallomonas caudata and Mallomonas splendens.

Chromulina is a genus of golden algae in the family Chromulinaceae.

Ochromonadales is an order of single-celled algae belonging to the class Chrysophyceae, also known as golden algae. Initially it contained numerous groups of flagellates that were not closely related. During the late 20th century, advancements in molecular and ultrastructural studies allowed the transfer of many of these groups out of Ochromonadales, and the order was reduced to a single family Ochromonadaceae. They are aquatic single-celled flagellated algae, with two heterokont flagella each, some of which have secondarily lost their chloroplasts and appear colorless.

Dinobryaceae is a family of algae in the order Chromulinales comprising around 20 genera.
