Bolidophyceae is a class of photosynthetic heterokont picophytoplankton, and consist of less than 20 known species. [1] [2] [3] They are distinguished by the angle of flagellar insertion and swimming patterns as well as recent molecular analyses. [4] Bolidophyceae is the sister taxon to the diatoms ( Bacillariophyceae). They lack the characteristic theca of the diatoms, [5] and have been proposed as an intermediate group between the diatoms and all other heterokonts. [4] [6]
