Cryptomonas minor is a small freshwater cryptomonad alga with a compressed, bean-shaped cell body containing phycobilin-bearing plastids, found in lakes, ponds, and slow-moving water bodies. It uses two flagella of unequal length for locomotion and is capable of photosynthesis. Cryptomonas species are important members of freshwater phytoplankton communities and serve as prey for zooplankton.
