Coccolithophores, or coccolithophorids, are single-celled organisms which are part of the phytoplankton, the autotrophic component of the plankton community. They form a group of a few hundred species

Coccolithophore diversity. Emiliania huxleyi (E), the reference species for coccolithophore studies, is contrasted with a range of other species spanning the biodiversity of modern coccolithophores. All images are scanning electron micrographs of cells collected by seawater filtration from the open ocean.

The haptophytes, classified either as the Haptophytina, Haptophyta or Prymnesiophyta, are a clade of algae that can produce minerals.

…system, or clade Hacrobia, according to a newer biological classification system. Within the Hacrobia, the coccolithophores are in the phylum or division Haptophyta, class Prymnesiophyceae (or Coccolithophyceae). Coccolithophores are almost exclusively marine, are photosynthetic and mixotrophic, and exist in large…
