  1. Coccolithales is an order of Haptophyceae. The Coccolithales has long been considered one of only two orders in the Coccolithophyceae, the other order being the Isochrysidales. References

  2. Haptophytes are a clade of algae with two flagella and a haptonema. They include coccolithophores, which have calcareous plates, and some planktonic and aquaculture species.

  3. Coccolithophores are single-celled algae that produce calcium carbonate scales called coccoliths. They are important for marine ecology, biogeochemistry and climate change, and have a long evolutionary history since the Jurassic.

  4. Coccolithophores occupy a special position within the marine phytoplankton because of their production of intricate calcite scales, or coccoliths. Coccolithophores are major contributors to global ocean calcification and long-term carbon fluxes. The intracellular production of coccoliths requires modifications to cellular ultrastructure and metabolism that are surveyed here. In addition to ...

  6. Coccoliths are individual plates or scales of calcium carbonate formed by coccolithophores, a group of single-celled phytoplankton. Coccoliths protect the cells from predators and viruses, and play a key role in the marine carbon cycle and sediment formation.
