Division: Chromophyta
Class: Cryptophyceae Fritsch
Order: Cryptomonadales Engler
Family: Cryptomonadaceae Ehrenberg
GenusGenus Teleaulax Hill
Scientific name: Teleaulax sp.

 

The cells are pointed apically and antapically (anterior and posterior end), with a long furrow,red-brown or orange chloroplast with a single pyrenoid (Throndsen et al., 2007).

Description:
Cells oval, slightly dorsoventrally flattened, with acute posterior end, rounded apically. Dorsal side strongly curved, ventral side almost straight with furrow. The flagella are equal in length.

Dimensions:
Cells 10-12 µm long, 4 µm wide.Sites of occurrence in RSA:In Winter 2006 Cruise, along with diatoms and dinoflagellates, the small-sized autotrophic flagellate Teleaulax sp. was considered a significant contributor to the total phytoplankton abundance up to 92 %. The highest concentration of Teleaulax sp. reached 2.2 10 cells/l.Maximum abundance (> 10cells/l) was observed in the central part of the inner RSA;localized distribution was observed in the Sea of Oman (refer sites map).
