Mallomonas (ma-la-moan-ass) is a synurophyte alga, traditionally regarded as a chrysophyte or related to the chrysophytes, but distinguished by the presence of extracellular siliceous scales. This genus has large chlorophyll a and c containing plastids, an apical flagellum, and a coating of slipper shaped scales each of which has a long projecting spine. Differential interference contrast.

This genus has large chlorophyll a and c containing plastids, an apical flagellum, and a coating of slipper shaped scales each of which has a long projecting spine. This image is a detail of the empty periplast (coating of scales and spines) and showing the two kinds of scales which make up the periplast. Differential interference contrast.

Mallomonas, a flagellate included in the Synurophyceae. Mallomonas is a very large genus with over 120 recognized species. Cells are solitary and biflagellate although the short flagellum is usually not visible by light microscopy. Chloroplasts are either double or single and bilobed. The chloroplasts of Mallomonas differ from those of chrysophytes in that they contain chlorophyll a and c1 but not chlorophyll c2. A red stigma is absent. There is a posterior contractile vacuole. Cells are covered by siliceous scales and bristles. Both are formed intracellularly then extruded to the cell surface where the bristles then articulate with or adhere to the scales. Taxonomy is based on scale and bristle ultrastructure. There are some species which form siliceous cysts known as stomatocysts. These have a terminal opening or porus which is sealed with a plug. From a freshwater pond near Boise, Idaho. Phase contrast.
