This study describes a non-photosynthetic protist, Ciliophrys sp. Baltic, which lacks a plastid but hosts a bacterial endosymbiont, providing insights into plastid loss and endosymbiont acquisition.

This study presents over 50 newly sequenced organellar genomes from eustigmatophyte algae, revealing insights into their phylogeny and unique mitochondrial gene evolution.

This study reveals two independent plastid losses in ochrophyte lineages through comprehensive phylogenomic analysis of 25 transcriptomes.

The paper identifies the structural features responsible for far-red light absorption in eustigmatophyte algae using spectroscopic and phylogenetic analyses.

The paper identifies a new family of Trebouxiophyceae, describes two new genera, and reclassifies Chlorolobion as a trebouxiophyte.
