Pavlovaceae Explained

Pavlovaceae is a family of haptophytes. It is the only family in the order Pavlovales, which is the only order in the class Pavlovophyceae.^[1] It contains four genera, Diacronema, Exanthemachrysis, Pavlova and Rebecca.

Pavlovophyceae haptophytes also reportedly store photosynthetic carbon in paramylon polysaccharide granules (with a crystalline microfibrillar structure),^[2] unlike the chrysolaminarin used as the polysacharide storage form by most haptophytes.^{[3] [4]}
