Pinguiochrysidaceae

Pinguiochrysidaceae is a family of marine Heterokontophyta.[1] It is the only family in the order Pinguiochrysidales, which is the only order in the class Pinguiophyceae. It includes five species of unicellular organisms with high concentration of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the cytoplasm.[1] The other common features are the lack of cell wall and the tendency for flagella loss even on the stage of zoospore, which is unusual for heterokonts.[1] One species (Polypodochrysis teissieri) inhabits benthic substates (sometimes found the mucilage of other algae) and is able to produce lorica with one or more tubular necks.[2] The other species live in the plankton.[1]

gollark: Oh, and the iconization system contains a minor shortcut I'm slightly unhappy about.
gollark: The frontend ignores most errors and just entirely freezes.
gollark: The renderer leans heavily on Python's duck typing and randomly adds attributes it needs to things.
gollark: There are basically no comments.
gollark: The API is a thin layer over the database which has to accursedly convert things to ints or strings all the time because my IDs are 64-bit integers and JS only allows 53 bit ones because of course it does.
