Pseudoscourfieldiaceae, formerly Pycnococcaceae is a family of green algae in the order Pseudoscourfieldiales.[1] The defining features of this family include the single invagination of the pyrenoid where the mitochondrial membrane fits into it[2] and the "decapore" - a ring of 10 pores through the thick cell wall.[3]
The family was renamed to Pseudoscourfieldiaceae in 2024 by Crépeault et al., who also determined via ptDNA and mtDNA analyses, that Pycnococcus provasolii is a junior synonym of Pseudoscourfieldia marina.[4]
