Embryocola Michaj?ow, 1969

Holotype species: Embryocola ocelli Michajłow

Publication details: Michajłow, 1969: 315

Description: Colorless, irregularly elliptical, uniflagellate cell, parasitic in copepods of the genus Megacyclops. Bourrelly (1985) considers it to be closely related to Ovicola and Naupliicola. However, the organisms are so lacking in detail that it is difficult to accept them as euglenoids, let alone different species of a defined genus.

Contributors
Some of the descriptions included in AlgaeBase were originally from the unpublished Encyclopedia of Algal Genera, organised in the 1990s by Dr Bruce Parker on behalf of the Phycological Society of America (PSA) and intended to be published in CD format. These AlgaeBase descriptions are now being continually updated, and each current contributor is identified above. The PSA and AlgaeBase warmly acknowledge the generosity of all past and present contributors and particularly the work of Dr Parker.

Descriptions of chrysophyte genera were subsequently published in J. Kristiansen & H.R. Preisig (eds.). 2001. Encyclopedia of Chrysophyte Genera. Bibliotheca Phycologica 110: 1-260.
