Scope note: Algas microscópicas de agua dulce de la familia Chrysophyceae. Comparten muchas características con las ALGAS PARDAS pero son planctónicas más que bénticas. Aunque la mayoría son fontosintéticas, no se las considera como auténticamente autótrofas ya que pueden volverse facultativamente heterótrofas en ausencia de luz adecuada. En este estado pueden alimentarse de BACTERIAS o DIATOMEAS.

Scope note: A family of microscopic freshwater EUKARYOTA, commonly known as golden algae. They share many features with the BROWN ALGAE but are planktonic rather than benthic. Though most are photosynthetic, they are not considered truly autotrophic since they can become facultatively heterotrophic in the absence of adequate light. In this state they can feed on BACTERIA or DIATOMS.
