Description
(=Pyrenomonas Santore) Cells with a variable furrow and a short tubular gullet. Periplast consisting of inner, more or less square plates which taper slightly toward the anterior and a surface component of intertwining fibrils . The periplastidial compartment usually has a single , bilobed chloroplast with a pyrenoid situated between the 2 lobes of the chloroplast. Thylakoids do not traverse the pyrenoid. Nucleo- morph located in an evagination of the periplastidal cytoplasm into the pyrenoid . Cells not necessarily colored red ; chloroplasts contain Cr-phyco-erythrin 545 . Marine and freshwater (Erata and Chihara , 1989 ; Novarino , 1993 ; and Santore , 1984) .
