| Definition | Cryptophytes have higher forward scatter and orange fluorescence intensities than Synechococcus and a higher orange to red fluorescence ratio compared to other eukaryotic phytoplankton. Cryptophytes form their own cluster separated from the eukaryote nanophytoplankton cluster due to the presence of phycoerythrin and phycocyanin fluorescence signals. No staining is required to detect and discriminate them by flow cytometry. Their forward scatter signal can reach values close to that of microphytoplankton. They contain high amounts of phycoerythrin and may contain phycocyanin that can be excited by a red laser. If cryptophyte cells contain both phycoerythrin and phycocyanin, then they will emit a higher red fluorescence signal than cells containing only chlorophyll-a (energy transfer to red fluorescence). | |
