Abstract: This revision of the classification of eukaryotes follows that of Adl et al., 2012 [J. Euk. Microbiol. 59(5)] and retains an emphasis on protists. Changes since have improved the resolution of many nodes in phylogenetic analyses. For some clades even families are being clearly resolved. As we had predicted, environmental sampling in the intervening years has massively increased the genetic information at hand. Consequently, we have discovered novel clades, exciting new genera, and uncovered a massive species level diversity beyond the morphological species descriptions. Several clades known from environmental samples only have found their home. Sampling soils, deeper marine waters, and the deep sea will continue to fill us with surprises. The main changes in this revision are the confirmation that eukaryotes form at least two domains, the loss of monophyly in the Exavata, robust support for the Haptista and Cryptista. We provide suggested primer sets for DNA sequences from environmental samples that are effective for each clade. We have provided a guide to trophic functional guilds in an appendix, to facilitate the interpretation of environmental samples. Accepted This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. THIS revision of the classification of eukaryotes updates that of the International Society of Protistologists (Adl et al., 2012). Since then, there has been a massive increase in DNA sequence information of phylogenetic relevance from environmental samples. We now have a much better sense of the undescribed biodiversity in our environment (Pawlowski et al., 2012; de Vargas et al., 2015). While significant, it still remains a partial estimation as several continents and soils in general are poorly sampled, and the deeper ocean is hard to reach. This new data clarified phylogenetic relationships and the new information is incorporated

  • Molecular Data and the Evolutionary History of Dinoflagellates by Juan Fernando Saldarriaga Echavarria Diplom, Ruprecht-Karls-Un
    Molecular data and the evolutionary history of dinoflagellates by Juan Fernando Saldarriaga Echavarria Diplom, Ruprecht-Karls-Universitat Heidelberg, 1993 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES Department of Botany We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA November 2003 © Juan Fernando Saldarriaga Echavarria, 2003 ABSTRACT New sequences of ribosomal and protein genes were combined with available morphological and paleontological data to produce a phylogenetic framework for dinoflagellates. The evolutionary history of some of the major morphological features of the group was then investigated in the light of that framework. Phylogenetic trees of dinoflagellates based on the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene (SSU) are generally poorly resolved but include many well- supported clades, and while combined analyses of SSU and LSU (large subunit ribosomal RNA) improve the support for several nodes, they are still generally unsatisfactory. Protein-gene based trees lack the degree of species representation necessary for meaningful in-group phylogenetic analyses, but do provide important insights to the phylogenetic position of dinoflagellates as a whole and on the identity of their close relatives. Molecular data agree with paleontology in suggesting an early evolutionary radiation of the group, but whereas paleontological data include only taxa with fossilizable cysts, the new data examined here establish that this radiation event included all dinokaryotic lineages, including athecate forms. Plastids were lost and replaced many times in dinoflagellates, a situation entirely unique for this group. Histones could well have been lost earlier in the lineage than previously assumed.

Dinoflagellate infections have been reported for different protistan and animal hosts. We report, for the first time, the association between a dinoflagellate parasite and a rotifer host, tentatively Synchaeta sp. (Rotifera), collected from the port of Valencia, NW Mediterranean Sea. The rotifer contained a sporangium with 100–200 thecate dinospores that develop synchronically through palintomic sporogenesis. This undescribed dinoflagellate forms a new and divergent fast-evolved lineage that branches amongthe dinokaryotic dinoflagellates. 1. Introduction form independent lineages with no evident relation to other dinoflagellates [12]. In this study, we describe a new lineage of The alveolates (or Alveolata) are a major lineage of protists an undescribed parasitic dinoflagellate that largely diverged divided into three main phyla: ciliates, apicomplexans, and from other known dinoflagellates.

  • Biology and Systematics of Heterokont and Haptophyte Algae1
    American Journal of Botany 91(10): 1508±1522. 2004. BIOLOGY AND SYSTEMATICS OF HETEROKONT AND HAPTOPHYTE ALGAE1 ROBERT A. ANDERSEN Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, P.O. Box 475, West Boothbay Harbor, Maine 04575 USA In this paper, I review what is currently known of phylogenetic relationships of heterokont and haptophyte algae. Heterokont algae are a monophyletic group that is classi®ed into 17 classes and represents a diverse group of marine, freshwater, and terrestrial algae. Classes are distinguished by morphology, chloroplast pigments, ultrastructural features, and gene sequence data. Electron microscopy and molecular biology have contributed signi®cantly to our understanding of their evolutionary relationships, but even today class relationships are poorly understood. Haptophyte algae are a second monophyletic group that consists of two classes of predominately marine phytoplankton. The closest relatives of the haptophytes are currently unknown, but recent evidence indicates they may be part of a large assemblage (chromalveolates) that includes heterokont algae and other stramenopiles, alveolates, and cryptophytes. Heter- okont and haptophyte algae are important primary producers in aquatic habitats, and they are probably the primary carbon source for petroleum products (crude oil, natural gas). Key words: chromalveolate; chromist; chromophyte; ¯agella; phylogeny; stramenopile; tree of life. Heterokont algae are a monophyletic group that includes all (Phaeophyceae) by Linnaeus (1753), and shortly thereafter, photosynthetic organisms with tripartite tubular hairs on the microscopic chrysophytes (currently 5 Oikomonas, Anthophy- mature ¯agellum (discussed later; also see Wetherbee et al., sa) were described by MuÈller (1773, 1786).

Previous work has divided eukaryotic diversity into a small number of high-level ‘supergroups’, many of which receive strong support in phylogenomic analyses. However, the abundance of data in phylogenomic analyses can lead to highly supported but incorrect relationships due to systematic phylogenetic error. Further, the paucity of major eukaryotic lineages (19 or fewer) included in these genomic studies may exaggerate systematic error and reduces power to evaluate hypotheses.

  • Supplementary Materials - Methods
    Supplementary Materials - Methods Bacterial Phylogeny Using the predicted phylogenetic positions from the Microbial Gene Atlas (MiGA), all complete genomes for the classes betaproteobacteria, alphaproteobacteria, and Bacteroides available on NCBI were collected. The GToTree pipeline was run on each of these datasets, including the Nephromyces endosymbiont, using the relevant ​ ​ HMM set of single copy gene targets (57–62). This included 138 gene targets and 722 genomes in alphaproteobacteria, 203 gene targets and 471 genomes in betaproteobacteria, and 90 gene targets and 388 genomes in Bacteroidetes. In betaproteobacteria, 5 genomes were removed for having either too few hits to the single copy gene targets, or multiple hits. The final trees were created with FastTree v2 (63), and formatted in FigTree (S Figure 2,3). Amplicon Methods Detailed Fifty Molgula manhattensis tunicates were collected from a single floating dock ​ ​ located in Greenwich Bay, RI (41.653N, -71.452W), and 29 Molgula occidentalis were ​ ​ collected from Alligator Harbor, FL (29.899N, -84.381W) by Gulf Specimens Marine Laboratories, Inc. (https://gulfspecimen.org/). All 79 samples were collected in August ​ ​ of 2016 and prepared for a single Illumina MiSeq flow cell (hereafter referred to as Run One). An additional 25 Molgula occidentalis were collected by Gulf Specimens Marine ​ ​ Laboratories, Inc. in March of 2018 from the same location and prepared for a second MiSeq flow cell (hereafter referred to as Run Two). Tunicates were dissected to remove renal sacs and Nephromyces cells contained within were collected by a micropipette and ​ ​ placed in 1.5 ml eppendorf tubes. Dissecting tools were sterilized in a 10% bleach solution for 15 min and then rinsed between tunicates.

  • Chamber Arrangement Versus Wall Structure in the High-Rank Phylogenetic Classification of Foraminifera
    Editors' choice Chamber arrangement versus wall structure in the high-rank phylogenetic classification of Foraminifera ZOFIA DUBICKA Dubicka, Z. 2019. Chamber arrangement versus wall structure in the high-rank phylogenetic classification of Fora- minifera. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 64 (1): 1–18. Foraminiferal wall micro/ultra-structures of Recent and well-preserved Jurassic (Bathonian) foraminifers of distinct for- aminiferal high-rank taxonomic groups, Globothalamea (Rotaliida, Robertinida, and Textulariida), Miliolida, Spirillinata and Lagenata, are presented. Both calcite-cemented agglutinated and entirely calcareous foraminiferal walls have been investigated. Original test ultra-structures of Jurassic foraminifers are given for the first time. “Monocrystalline” wall-type which characterizes the class Spirillinata is documented in high resolution imaging. Globothalamea, Lagenata, porcel- aneous representatives of Tubothalamea and Spirillinata display four different major types of wall-structure which may be related to distinct calcification processes. It confirms that these distinct molecular groups evolved separately, probably from single-chambered monothalamids, and independently developed unique wall types. Studied Jurassic simple bilocular taxa, characterized by undivided spiralling or irregular tubes, are composed of miliolid-type needle-shaped crystallites. In turn, spirillinid “monocrystalline” test structure has only been recorded within more complex, multilocular taxa pos- sessing secondary subdivided chambers: Jurassic

Simple Summary: Alveolates are a major group of free living and parasitic organisms; some of which are serious pathogens of animals and humans. Apicomplexans and chromerids are two phyla belonging to the alveolates. Apicomplexans are obligate intracellular parasites; that cannot complete their life cycle without exploiting a suitable host. Chromerids are mostly photoautotrophs as they can obtain energy from sunlight; and are considered ancestors of the apicomplexans. The pathogenicity and life cycle strategies differ significantly between parasitic alveolates; with some causing major losses in host populations while others seem harmless to the host. As the life cycles of Citation: Kristmundsson, Á.; Erlingsdóttir, Á.; Lange, S. some are still poorly understood, a better understanding of the factors which can affect the parasitic Peptidylarginine Deiminase (PAD) alveolates’ life cycles and survival is of great importance and may aid in new biomarker discovery. and Post-Translational Protein This study assessed new mechanisms relating to changes in protein structure and function (so-called Deimination—Novel Insights into “deimination” or “citrullination”) in two key parasites—an apicomplexan and a chromerid—to Alveolata Metabolism, Epigenetic assess the pathways affected by this protein modification.
