Prymnesiophytes (another group of swimming flagellates) include the two bloom-forming species; Phaeocystis pouchetii and Emiliania huxleyi (the latter being an exception among prymnesiophytes by lacking flagella and having a cover of calcite platelets, and as such are highly relevant to the carbon cycle).

It is likely that some of the organic carbon of prymnesiophytes and other eukaryotic phytoplankton is eventually exported from the photic zone to the deep ocean, rather than being returned to the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide.
