An assemblage of planktonic marine algae called picobiliphytes has been discovered by Not et al. (p. 253) with molecular methods. The authors isolated these organisms' tiny cells from cold temperate coastal marine ecosystems and found that these algae contain pigments known as phycobilins and possess a nucleomorph. The authors speculate that these are phototropic organisms probably involved in endosymbiosis.
