  1. heterokontae

    Yellow-green algae or the Xanthophyceae (xanthophytes) are an important group of heterokont algae. Most live in fresh water, but some are found in marine and soil habitats. They vary from single-celled flagellates to simple colonial and filamentous forms. Xanthophyte chloroplasts contain the photosynthetic pigments chlorophyll a, chlorophyll c, β-carotene, and the carotenoid diadinoxanthin. Unlike other heterokonts, their chloroplasts do not contain fucoxanthin, which accounts for their lighter colour. Their storage polysaccharide is chrysolaminarin. Xanthophyte cell walls are produced of cellulose and hemicellulose. They appear to be the closest relatives of the brown algae.

  1. heterokontae

    Heterokontae, also known as heterokonts, is a group of eukaryotic organisms that includes a wide variety of algae and fungi. These organisms are characterized by the presence of two dissimilar flagella, one of which is smooth and the other is covered in fine, hair-like structures. This characteristic gives the group its name, which translates to "different flagella". Some well-known members of this group include brown algae, diatoms, and water molds.
