Chroomonadaceae

	Chroomonadaceae Chroomonadaceae is a family of cryptomonads first recognized by Clay et al in 1999 as including genera '' Chroomonas'', ''Falcomonas'', and '' Komma''. Following a molecular phylogenic study in 2002, Hemiselmis was also placed within the Chroomonadaceae. Today, the family is generally recognized as sister to the Pyrenomonadaceae. They are one of only two groups of cryptomonads (alongside ''Rhinomonas'') to lack a rhizostyle. They are also distinguished by the lack of a cleavage furrow and the presence of several phycocyanins and phycoerythrins Phycoerythrin (PE) is a red protein-pigment complex from the light-harvesting phycobiliprotein family, present in cyanobacteria, red algae and cryptophytes, accessory to the main chlorophyll pigments responsible for photosynthesis.The red pigment ... not observed in any other cryptomonad taxa.

	Komma Caudata ''Komma caudata'' is a cryptomonad, and the only described species in the genus ''Komma'', although four or five more species may exist. Its cells are 4.5–5.5 μm wide by 7–10 μm long and bear two unequal flagella A flagellum (; ) is a hairlike appendage that protrudes from certain plant and animal sperm cells, and from a wide range of microorganisms to provide motility. Many protists with flagella are termed as flagellates. A microorganism may have f .... References Cryptomonads {{Cryptomonad-stub ...

	Hemiselmis ''Hemiselmis'' is a genus of cryptomonads. History of discovery It was first described by English biologist Mary Parke in 1949. She also described the first species in this genus, ''Hemiselmis rufescens.'' Morphology ''Hemiselmis'' are typically 4 to 9 micrometers long, free-swimming, biflagellate monads. They are generally bean-shaped with the flagella located between 1/3 and 1/2 the cell length from the anterior. A tubular gullet lined with usually two rows of ejectisomes is found to be in the posterior region of the cell. A single plastid and nucleomorph are present, with it possessing the biliprotein pigment Cr-phycoerythrin 555 or one of Cr-phycocyanin Phycocyanin is a pigment-protein complex from the light-harvesting phycobiliprotein family, along with allophycocyanin and phycoerythrin. It is an accessory pigment to chlorophyll. All phycobiliproteins are water-soluble, so they cannot exist ..., 577, 612 and 630. For example, ''Hemiselmis pacifica'' possesses Cr-P ...
