SUMMARY Glaucocystophytes are freshwater algae that possess an almost‐intact cyanobacterium, referred to as a cyanelle, as their photosynthetic organelle. Because the cyanelle represents an intermediate state in plastid evolution, glaucocystophytes have been the subject of several studies to charact...
