EVOLUTIONARY TRANSITION TOWARDS PERMANENT CHLOROPLASTS? - DIVISION OF KLEPTOCHLOROPLASTS IN STARVED CELLS OF TWO SPECIES OF DINOPHYSIS (DINOPHYCEAE).

Evolutionary transition towards permanent chloroplasts? - Division of kleptochloroplasts in starved cells of two species of Dinophysis (Dinophyceae).

Species within the marine toxic dinoflagellate genus Dinophysis are phagotrophic organisms that exploit chloroplasts (kleptochloroplasts) from other protists to perform photosynthesis.Dinophysis spp.acquire the kleptochloroplasts from the ciliate Mesodinium rubrum, which in turn acquires the chloroplasts from a unique clade of cryptophytes.Dinophys
