  • Chloroplast Structure of the Cryptophyceae
    CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE OF THE CRYPTOPHYCEAE Evidence for Phycobiliproteins within Intrathylakoidal Spaces E . GANTT, M . R . EDWARDS, and L . PROVASOLI From the Radiation Biology Laboratory, Smithsonian Institution, Rockville, Maryland 20852, the Division of Laboratories and Research, New York State Department of Health, Albany, New York 12201, and the Haskins Laboratories, New Haven, Connecticut 06520 ABSTRACT Selective extraction and morphological evidence indicate that the phycobiliproteins in three Cryptophyceaen algae (Chroomonas, Rhodomonas, and Cryptomonas) are contained within intrathylakoidal spaces and are not on the stromal side of the lamellae as in the red and blue-green algae . Furthermore, no discrete phycobilisome-type aggregates have thus far been observed in the Cryptophyceae . Structurally, although not necessarily functionally, this is a radical difference . The width of the intrathylakoidal spaces can vary but is gen- erally about 200-300 A . While the thylakoid membranes are usually closely aligned, grana- type fusions do not occur. In Chroomonas these membranes evidence an extensive periodic display with a spacing on the order of 140-160 A . This periodicity is restricted to the mem- branes and has not been observed in the electron-opaque intrathylakoidal matrix . INTRODUCTION The varied characteristics of the cryptomonads (3), Greenwood in Kirk and Tilney-Bassett (10), are responsible for their indefinite taxonomic and Lucas (13) . The thylakoids have a tendency position (17), but at the same time they enhance to be arranged in pairs, that is, for two of them to their status in evolutionary schemes (1, 4) . Their be closely associated with a 30-50 A space between chloroplast structure is distinct from that of every them .

  • The CSIRO Collection of Living Microalgae: an Australian Perspective on Microalgal Biodiversity and Applications
    The CSIRO Collection of Living Microalgae: An Australian Perspective on Microalgal Biodiversity and Applications S.I. Blackburn, I.D. Jameson, D. Frampton, M. Brown, M. Mansour, A. Negri, N.S. Parker, S. Robert, C.J. Bolch, P.D. Nichols and J.K. Volkman CSIRO Marine Research, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT The CSIRO Collection of Living Microalgae maintains over 800 strains from 140 genera representing the majority of marine and some freshwater microalgal classes. The Collection is incorpoarted within the CSIRO Microalgal Research Centre (CMARC) which provides a supply service of microalgal strains to industry, government and university organizations. Research within CMARC and in partnership with collaborators spans a wide base within the three themes of Environment, Aquaculture and Biotechnology. Some of the research projects undertaken include physiological studies of different life-history stages of microalgae, toxin production in harmful algal bloom (HAB) species, phylogenetic studies of different populations of HAB species, optimizing the nutritional benefit of microalgal diets in larval and broodstock aquaculture species, including important nutrients such as vitamins and polyunstaurated fatty acids. Research is also being undertaken into optimizing high biomass production systems through the use of photobioreactors. 1. THE CSIRO COLLECTION OF LIVING MICROALGAE The CSIRO Collection of Living Microalgae maintains over 800 strains from 140 genera representing the majority of marine and some freshwater microalgal classes (see Fig.1 for summary, list of strains available from the authors or downloadable from http://www.marine.csiro.au). There are also some selected micro-heterotrophic strains. This collection is the largest and most diverse microalgal culture collection in Australia and, with NIES-Collection (National Institute for Environmental Studies, Environment Agency) in Japan, ranks as a major microalgal collection in the the Asia-Pacific region.

  • Nanoplankton Protists from the Western Mediterranean Sea. II. Cryptomonads (Cryptophyceae = Cryptomonadea)*
    sm69n1047 4/3/05 20:30 Página 47 SCI. MAR., 69 (1): 47-74 SCIENTIA MARINA 2005 Nanoplankton protists from the western Mediterranean Sea. II. Cryptomonads (Cryptophyceae = Cryptomonadea)* GIANFRANCO NOVARINO Department of Zoology, The Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, U.K. E-mail: [email protected] SUMMARY: This paper is an electron microscopical account of cryptomonad flagellates (Cryptophyceae = Cryptomon- adea) in the plankton of the western Mediterranean Sea. Bottle samples collected during the spring-summer of 1998 in the Sea of Alboran and Barcelona coastal waters contained a total of eleven photosynthetic species: Chroomonas (sensu aucto- rum) sp., Cryptochloris sp., 3 species of Hemiselmis, 3 species of Plagioselmis including Plagioselmis nordica stat. nov/sp. nov., Rhinomonas reticulata (Lucas) Novarino, Teleaulax acuta (Butcher) Hill, and Teleaulax amphioxeia (Conrad) Hill. Identification was based largely on cell surface features, as revealed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Cells were either dispersed in the water-column or associated with suspended particulate matter (SPM). Plagioselmis prolonga was the most common species both in the water-column and in association with SPM, suggesting that it might be a key primary pro- ducer of carbon. Taxonomic keys are given based on SEM. Key words: Cryptomonadea, cryptomonads, Cryptophyceae, flagellates, nanoplankton, taxonomy, ultrastructure.

  • Nuclear Genome Sequence of the Plastid-Lacking
    Cenci et al. BMC Biology (2018) 16:137 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12915-018-0593-5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Nuclear genome sequence of the plastid- lacking cryptomonad Goniomonas avonlea provides insights into the evolution of secondary plastids Ugo Cenci1,2†, Shannon J. Sibbald1,2†, Bruce A. Curtis1,2, Ryoma Kamikawa3, Laura Eme1,2,11, Daniel Moog1,2,12, Bernard Henrissat4,5,6, Eric Maréchal7, Malika Chabi8, Christophe Djemiel8, Andrew J. Roger1,2,9, Eunsoo Kim10 and John M. Archibald1,2,9* Abstract Background: The evolution of photosynthesis has been a major driver in eukaryotic diversification. Eukaryotes have acquired plastids (chloroplasts) either directly via the engulfment and integration of a photosynthetic cyanobacterium (primary endosymbiosis) or indirectly by engulfing a photosynthetic eukaryote (secondary or tertiary endosymbiosis). The timing and frequency of secondary endosymbiosis during eukaryotic evolution is currently unclear but may be resolved in part by studying cryptomonads, a group of single-celled eukaryotes comprised of both photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic species. While cryptomonads such as Guillardia theta harbor a red algal-derived plastid of secondary endosymbiotic origin, members of the sister group Goniomonadea lack plastids. Here, we present the genome of Goniomonas avonlea—the first for any goniomonad—to address whether Goniomonadea are ancestrally non-photosynthetic or whether they lost a plastid secondarily. Results: We sequenced the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes of Goniomonas avonlea and carried out a comparative analysis of Go. avonlea, Gu. theta, and other cryptomonads. The Go. avonlea genome assembly is ~ 92 Mbp in size, with 33,470 predicted protein-coding genes. Interestingly, some metabolic pathways (e.g., fatty acid biosynthesis) predicted to occur in the plastid and periplastidal compartment of Gu.
