Synuraceae
''Synura'' is a genus of colonial chrysomonad algae covered with silica scales. It is the most conspicuous genus of the order Synurales. Description Species of ''Synura'' form microscopic, spherical colonies, composed of multiple cells attached to each other at the center of the colony. ''Synura'' cells are variously shaped, typically spherical to pear-shaped or club-shaped. Each cell contains two plastids aligned with the long axis of the cell; they impart a distinctive golden color to the cells, which comes from chlorophyll ''c1'' and fucoxanthin. Cells are covered with scales made of silica. Two flagella are present. Identification of species depends on the morphology of the scales. For many species, a positive identification is only possible with an electron microscope, either with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) or transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

Synurales
The synurids (order Synurales) are a small group of heterokont algae, found mostly in freshwater environments, characterized by cells covered in silica scales. Characteristics They are covered in silicate scales and spines. In ''Synura'', these are formed on the surface of the chloroplasts, two of which are usually present, but sometimes only one divided into two lobes is seen. The cells have two heterokont flagellum, flagella, inserted parallel to one another at the anterior, whose ultrastructure is a distinguishing characteristic of the group. Both asexual and isogamy, isogamous sexual reproduction occur. Morphology File:2023 Synurophyte.svg, center, upright=2, Classification Synurales are divided into three families, each with one genus: * Family Mallomonadaceae ** ''Mallomonas'' * Family Synuraceae ** ''Synura'' * Family Neotessellaceae ** ''Neotessella'' (=''Tessella'' ) History The genus ''Synura'' was proposed in 1834 by the German microscopist Christian Gottf ...

Synura Mollispina
''Synura'' is a genus of Colony (biology), colonial chrysomonad algae covered with silica scales. It is the most conspicuous genus of the order Synurales. Description Species of ''Synura'' form microscopic, spherical colonial organism, colonies, composed of multiple cells attached to each other at the center of the colony. ''Synura'' cells are variously shaped, typically spherical to pear-shaped or club-shaped. Each cell contains two plastids aligned with the long axis of the cell; they impart a distinctive golden color to the cells, which comes from chlorophyll c1, chlorophyll ''c1'' and fucoxanthin. Cells are covered with scales made of silica. Two flagella are present. Identification of species depends on the Morphology (biology), morphology of the scales.
