  1. HAPTOPHYTES 21

  2. **Haptophyte Significance 6 Oceans = 2/3 of Earth’s Surface Carbonate Deposits = ½ of Ocean Floor Haptophytes Contribute ¼ of Carbonate on Ocean Floor 7

  3. Haptophyte Significance 30 Haptophytes Contribute at least 25% of Vertical Carbon Transport to Ocean Floor (Graham et al. 2008)

  4. Flagella, Haptonema 14 15

  5. Haptonema Function • Obstacle Avoidance 2) Adhesion 3) Phagocytosis 8

  6. External Covering 2) Organic Scales 1) Naked 24 1

  7. Organic Scale Formation Figs. 10.7, 10.8 in Graham et al. 2008

  8. External Covering 3) Coccoliths

  9. Coccosphere

  10. Haptophyte Forms A) Non-Coccolithiphore B) Coccolithiphore

  11. Coccoliths Heterococcoliths Holococcoliths

  12. Holococcolith Formation

  13. Heterococcolith Formation Fig. 10.10 in Graham et al. 2008

  14. Heterococcolith Formation Figs. 10.9 in Graham et al. 2008

  15. Coccolith Function • Focusing Light • Limit Access by • Bacteria, Viruses • 3) Retard Herbivory • 4) Buoyancy Regulation Fig. 10.13 in Graham et al. 2008

  16. Coccolith Formation and Photosynthesis HCO3- + Ca2+ CaCO3 + CO2 + H2O

  17. Chloroplast Structure • Four membranes • Chl a, c, β-Carotene, • Fucoxanthin Fig. 10.14 in Graham et al. 2008

  18. Putative Chloroplast Origin in Haptophytes

  19. Cell Division Fig. 10.15 in Graham et al. 2008

  21. Sexual Life Cycle Heterococcoliths (2n) Holococcoliths (n)

  22. Haptophyte Significance 28 Isochrysis Pavlova lutheri 29

  23. Haptophyte Significance 10 Phaeocystis Colony 11 Phaeocystis is a Haptophyte. It forms a gelatinous colony. It is believed that their decaying remains are the cause of the foam on the sea shore.

  24. Haptophyte Significance 27 Chrysochromulina 26 Prymnesium parvum

  25. Haptophyte Significance Phaeocystis Colony DMS (Volatile) Production Emiliania 22 Fig. 10.16 in Graham et al. 2008

  26. Haptophyte Significance 30 Haptophytes Contribute at least 25% of Vertical Carbon Transport to Ocean Floor (Graham et al. 2008)
