Diacronema is a genus of haptophytes.
It includes the species Diacronema vlkianum. [1]
The Diacronema genus also includes the marine alga Diacronema lutheri. D. lutheri is a flagellated mobile microalga. It has two apical flagella of different lengths [2] and a haptonema. D.lutheri is capable of producing a large amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). [3] This characteristic is therefore widely used to feed bivalve molluscs, crustaceans and fish. [3]
