A billion years ago, a single-celled eukaryote engulfed a cyanobacterium--an organism capable of converting the sun's energy into food in the form of carbohydrates. In one of the single most pivotal ...
Mixotrophic oligotrich ciliates use plastids sequestered from algal prey to acquire energy and metabolic products from photosynthesis. We isolated mixotrophic oligotrichs from coastal waters off ...
We sequenced the nuclear small subunit ribosomal DNA coding region from 20 members of the Bangiophycidae and from two members of the Florideophycidae to gain insights into red algal evolution. A ...
