Abstract
The dinoflagellate, Amphidinium wigrense, contains triple membrane-bound bodies we have termed "blue-green chloroplasts." We believe these chloroplasts were derived from a cryptomonad endosymbiont similar to that present in another blue-green dinoflagellate, Gymnodinium acidotum. These dinoflagellates provide evidence that a chloroplast has evolved from an endosymbiotic eukaryote.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
