Cyanelles (or muroplasts) are photosynthetic organelles found in glaucocystophyte algae [194]. The Cyanophora paradoxa is a representative member of the glaucocystophyceae and is used as a biological model for the study of these plastids [195]. Cyanelles are surrounded by a peptidoglycan-like envelope (a peptidoglycan wall) [196, 197]. These organelles show close morphological and biochemical resemblance to endosymbiotic cyanobacteria. The cyanelle genome is 0.136 Mb (136 kb; Table 2.3) in length [198].
