The haptophytes, classified either as the Haptophyta, Haptophytina or Prymnesiophyta, are a clade of algae.
Photosynthetic picoplankton or picophytoplankton is the fraction of the photosynthetic phytoplankton of cell sizes between 0.2 and 2 μm. It is especially important in the central oligotrophic regions of the world oceans that have very low concentration of nutrients.
Mamiellales are an order of green algae in the class Mamiellophyceae. Their cells and flagella are covered with spiderweb-like scales of several types. Some species lack scales but possess pigments similar to those of the scale-bearing species.
Micromonas is a genus of green algae in the family Mamiellaceae.
Prasinoderma is a genus of green algae in the phylum Prasinodermophyta. Both species in the genus are unicellular, but P. coloniale forms loose sticky colonies.
Irene Manton, FRS FLS was a British botanist who was Professor of Botany at the University of Leeds. She was noted for study of ferns and algae.
Dictyochophyceae sensu lato is a photosynthetic lineage of heterokont algae.
Prymnesium is a genus of haptophytes, including the species Prymnesium parvum. The genus is a unicellular motile alga. It is ellipsoidal in shape one flagellum is straight and there are two longer ones which enable movement.
Thaumatomastix is a protist genus of the order Thaumatomonadida, within the phylum Cercozoa and the class Imbricatea. Its species are aquatic, feeding on algae and appearing in waters of a wide range of temperatures and salinities, and are 15-50 micrometers long. They can interchange between flagellated and amoeboid forms, and are notable for being covered in both spiny and flattened siliceous scales.
Magnus Wolff Eikrem is a Norwegian professional footballer who plays for Molde FK in Eliteserien. His regular playing position is in attacking midfield, though he can play anywhere across the midfield.
Pseudochattonella is a genus of marine, heterokont flagellates belonging to the class of Dictyochophyceae. It currently comprises two species: Pseudochattonella verruculosa and Pseudochattonella farcimen
Mary Winifred Parke, FRS, was a British marine botanist and Fellow of the Royal Society (1972) specialising in phycology, the study of algae.
Prymnesiovirus is a genus of viruses, in the family Phycodnaviridae. Alga serve as natural hosts. There is only one species in this genus: Chrysochromulina brevifilum virus PW1 (CbV-PW1). It infects Haptolina brevifila, basionym: Chrysochromulina brevifilum.
Haptista is a proposed group of protists made up of centrohelids and haptophytes. Phylogenomic studies indicate that Haptista, together with Ancoracysta twista, forms a sister clade to the SAR+Telonemia supergroup, but it may also be sister to the Cryptista (+Archaeplastida). It is thus one of the earliest diverging Diaphoretickes.
Chrysochromulina ericina virus 01B, or simply Chrysochromulina ericina virus (CeV) is a giant virus in the family Mimiviridae infecting Haptolina ericina, a marine microalgae member of the Haptophyta. CeV is a dsDNA virus.
Chloropicophyceae is a class of green algae in the division Chlorophyta that, along with Picocystophyceae, coincides with the traditional "prasinophyte clade VII". Chloropicophyceae has a single order, Chloropicales with a single family, Chloropicaceae.
Chloroparvula is a genus of green algae in the class Chloropicophyceae.
Chloropicon is a genus of green algae in the class Chloropicophyceae.
Rebecca is a genus of photosynthetic, flagellated marine haptophytes. It is one of four genera in the family Pavlovaceae. The holotype species, R. salina, was described in 2000 by J.C. Green; it is one of three species currently accepted in the genus. Also in the genus is R. helicata, which was described in the same publication as R. salina, and the third member is R. billiardiae, which was described in 2023. R. helicata and R. salina were both previously considered to be within the genus Pavlova.
