Cryptophyceae
Also known as the Cryptomonad class
The Cryptophyceae are a class of algae, most of which have plastids. About 230 species are known, and they are common in freshwater, and also occur in marine and brackish habitats. Each cell is around 10–50 μm in size and flattened in shape, with an anterior groove or pocket. At the edge of the pocket there are typically two slightly unequal flagella.

隐藻门是一大类的藻类， 大都具有色素体，淡水中常见。细胞大小约为10-50微米，形状扁平，有两个稍微不等长的鞭毛。一个著名特征是有红藻寄生于其细胞中，形成一种内共生关系，并把藻胆素带给宿主。 原本一般认为其与定鞭藻門关系更为密切，但2015年牛津大学卡瓦利埃 - 史密斯等人的研究及2016年加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚大学帕特里克 · 基林等人的研究显示其实际上是原始色素體生物的一部分，至于其与其他植物的系统发生关系则仍不明确。

Some exhibit mixotrophy.
