Abstract

The silicoflagellates are single-celled plankton that have a delicate siliceous skeleton made up of tubular rod-shaped elements. The group is both photosynthetic and autotrophic and has thus been claimed by botanists and zoologists. All silicoflagellates are included in the order Dictyochales, which is now generally considered to be in the division Chrysophyta, golden algae, on the basis of pigmentation and the structure of the chloroplasts and mitochondria.
