Synchromophyceae
Sign in to saveSynchromophyceae is a class of photosynthetic stramenopiles. The chloroplast of the Synchromophyceae are surrounded by two membranes and arranged in a way where they share the outer pair of membranes. The entire chloroplast complex is surrounded by an additional two outer membranes. ==Evolution== Synchromophyceae is a class within the Ochrophyta that contains a few genera of amoeboid organisms, such as the mixotrophic Synchromonas and the heterotrophic Chlamydomyxa and Leucomyxa. It is phylogenetically close to the classes Chrysophyceae and Picophagea, within the SII clade.

==Taxonomy== The class Synchromophyceae was described in 2007 to include the genus Synchroma. Since then, other closely-related organisms have been added. As of 2024, three orders are recognized, each containing one genus, and two additional incertae sedis genera. Order Chlamydomyxales Family Chlamydomyxaceae Chlamydomyxa . Order Leucomyxales Family Leucomyxaceae Leucomyxa Order Synchromales Family Synchromaceae Synchroma Synchromophyceae incertae sedis (possibly part of Synchromales) Chrysopodocystis Guanchochroma ==References==
