Haptophytes are single-celled phytoplankton that have a worldwide distribution and are one of the major groups of primary producers in the ocean, together with cyanobacteria, diatoms, dinoflagellates and prasinophytes . Members of the order Isochrysidales are unique in that they are the only known organisms producing LCAs, alkyl ketones with 35–42 atoms of carbon, two to four double bonds, a methyl or ethyl configuration and tri-unsaturated isomers However, in the recent decade, environmental molecular ecology studies of lacustrine environments have revealed the presence of many other phylotypes of the Isochrysidales order that are potential LCA-producing species(10.1016/j.orggeochem.2018.11.012)
