The Mesostigmatophyceae are a class of basal green algae found in freshwater originally containing two species in a single genus, Mesostigma. Now, a clade containing Chlorokybus and Spirotaenia has been added.. The Mesostigmatophyceae are either placed as sister to all other green algae, or more conventionally as sister to all Streptophyta.

Mesostigma viride is a species of freshwater green algae. It is now considered to be one of the earliest diverging members of green plants/algae (Viridiplantae).

<i>Collodictyon</i>

Collodictyon is a genus of single-celled eukaryotes belonging to the collodictyonids, also known as diphylleids. Collodictyonids do not belong to any well-known kingdom-level grouping of that domain. Recent research places them in a new 'supergroup' together with rigifilids and Mantamonas, with the so-far informal name 'CRuMs'.

Diphylleia rotans is a eukaryotic microorganism. It is notable for having a gene-rich mitochondrial genome, the largest known outside the jakobids.

Synchromophyceae is a class of photosynthetic heterokonts. The chloroplast of the Synchromophyceae are surrounded by two membranes and arranged in a way where they share the outer pair of membranes. The entire chloroplast complex is surrounded by an additional two outer membranes.
