''Vitrella brassicaformis'', also known as a 'chromerid', is a species of protist isolated from the Great Barrier Reef. Its closest known relative is ''Chromera velia''. ''Vitrella'' differs from ''Chromera'' in having a more complex lifecycle, for instance involving a range of sizes and morphologies. Also, while ''Vitrella'' is greenish coloured, ''Chromera'' is brown coloured. The differences are in the types of secondary pigments that characterize each genus. Both genera lack chlorophyll ''b'' or ''c''; these absences link the two taxonomically, as algae bearing only chlorophyll ''a'' are quite few amid the biodiversity of life. Phylogenetically, both ''Vitrella'' and ''Chromera'' are relatives of the obligately parasitic phylum Apicomplexa, which includes ''Plasmodium'', the agent of malaria.〔Oborník M, Modrý D, Lukeš M, Cernotíková-Stříbrná E, Cihlář J, Tesařová M, Kotabová E, Vancová M, Prášil O, Lukeš J (2012) Morphology, ultrastructure and life cycle of ''Vitrella brassicaformis'' n. sp., n. gen., a novel chromerid from the Great Barrier Reef. Protist 163(2):306-323〕 Both ''Vitrella brassicaformis'' and ''Chromera velia'' are photosynthetic.〔http://ses.library.usyd.edu.au/handle/2123/1914〕 ==Isolation and identification== Extant cultures of ''Vitrella'' were isolated by R. Moore. These are available from the NCMA culture collection in Maine USA (cultures 3156, 3157, 3158) and are also backed up in other collections such as NQAIF (Australia), and CCAP (UK). In 2004 the strains deposited to CCMP (now NCMA) by R. Moore were "re-isolated" (repurified) manually by staff at CCMP. The staff worked under the assumption that the flagellate (motile) stage could be separated permanently from the benthic spherical stages, which is not so, as these are stages of a single lifecycle. The fact that this unusual peer-review process could have happened in the history of the description of the species is an example of the very unusual lifecycle/morphology combination of the organism compared to other photosynthetic ''eukaryote''s that many culture collections were accustomed to dealing with. However it is not an unusual lifecycle for dinoflagellates which are photosynthetic relatives of ''Vitrella''.
