Cyanophora is a genus of glaucophytes, a group of rare but evolutionarily significant freshwater microalgae. [1]
It includes the following species: [1]
- Cyanophora biloba
- Cyanophora cuspidata
- Cyanophora kugrensii
- Cyanophora paradoxa
- Cyanophora sudae
- Cyanophora tetracyanea
These species are differentiated based on cell shape, number and position of cyanelles, and molecular data. [1]
The species Cyanophora paradoxa is well-studied as a model organism. [2]
