A number of basal stramenopiles are flagellates, and multicellular forms still typically produce motile zoospores. Almost all of these have two unequal flagella, one supporting tiny mastigonemes (hairs), and the other smooth and usually shorter. These lie off to the side, and typically have four microtubule roots. Such cells are called heterokont, and are distinct to the group. Also, mastigonemes whenever present have a unique tripartite structure.
The primitively colorless stramenopiles include the following groups:
After these, all stramenopiles are photosynthetic or secondarily colorless. The chloroplasts contain the chlorophylls a and c and the pigment fucoxanthin. They are bound by four membranes, suggesting that they are reduced form of some endosymbiont alga, but unlike the chloroplasts in the cryptomonads there is never any remaining nucleomorph. These include various basal groups, collectively referred to as [golden algae]? (Chrysophyta), together with the following:
These last two lists ought to be revised, completed, and probably expanded into surveys. Right now, though, I'm going to leave them, and would need to know more about golden algae anyways to split them up properly.
