Phylum of protists
Cryptista is aphylum ofalga -likeeukaryotes . It is most likely related toArchaeplastida which includesplants and many algae, within the larger groupDiaphoretickes .[ 1]
Other characteristic features ofcryptomonad mtDNAs include largesyntenic clusters resemblingα-proteobacterial operons that encodebacteria -likerRNAs ,tRNAs , andribosomal protein genes . Additionally, they are anevolutionarily significantlineage found in mostly marine, glacial andfreshwater environments.
Although it has sometimes placed along withHaptista in thesubkingdom Hacrobia , within thekingdom Chromista ,[ 2] most recent studies have found that Hacrobia is not aclade .[ 3] For example, in 2016, a broadphylogenomic study found that cryptists fall within the groupArchaeplastida , whilehaptophytes are closely related to theSAR supergroup .[ 4] [ 5]
The ornamental structures of thecell membrane vary among cryptists. They also have varyingflagellar appendages .[ 6]

It employedphagocytosis , and maybe alsophotosynthesis .[ 6]
Thephylogeny is based on studies done by Cavalier-Smith, Yabuki, Yazaki and others.[ 6] [ 7] [ 9] [ 10]
