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]
