Cyanophora paradoxa is a freshwater species of Glaucophyte that is used as a model organism.[3][4] C. paradoxa has two cyanelles or chloroplasts where photosynthesis occurs.[3] Cyanelles are unusual organelles in that they retain a rudimentary peptidoglycan wall.[5] The cyanelle genome of C. paradoxa strain LB 555 was sequenced and published in 1995.[4][6] The nuclear genome was also sequenced and published in 2012.[7]
