Mol Phylogenet Evol. 2021 Feb 2;159:107088. doi: 10.1016/j.ympev.2021.107088. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Euglenids are a well-known group of single-celled eukaryotes, with phototrophic, osmotrophic and phagotrophic members. Phagotrophs represent most of the phylogenetic diversity of euglenids, and gave rise to the phototrophs and osmotrophs, but their evolutionary relationships are poorly understood. Symbiontids, in contrast, are …

Evolutionary Biology: Viral Rhodopsins Illuminate Algal Evolution.
Related Articles Evolutionary Biology: Viral Rhodopsins Illuminate Algal Evolution. Curr Biol. 2020 Dec 21;30(24):R1469-R1471 Authors: Gallot-Lavallée L, Archibald JM Abstract A new metagenomics study has shown that marine viruses recently acquired genes encoding light-gated ion channels from green algae. These so-called channelrhodopsin genes may allow the viruses to manipulate the swimming behavior of the algae …
