Euglenozoa Flagellated protists which can be photosynthetic Odd features  Protein pellicle instead of cell wall  Odd mitochondria (discoid cristae) so unique endosymbiont  Chromosomes remain condensed during interphase 400 species (many more likely unknown parasites!) Two sub-phyla: 1.Kinetoplasta (Trypanosoma gambiense) sleeping sickness 2.Euglenoida (Euglena) photosynthetic, chlorophyll a,b, paramylum (aka paramylon = ß-1,3-glycan)

Though sketched here as single events, these endosymbioses were very likely multiple events!

Eubacterium endosymbiosis Euglenoid mitochondria are unique! For euglenoids, the chloroplast is a secondary endosymbiosis. Chlorophyte algal endosymbiosis

Pseudopodia Contractile vacuole Nucleus Food vacuoles Mitochondria Amoeba proteus A freshwater amoeboid protist Engulfing a Staurastrum green alga east01/logs/sep24/media/Foram_600.jpg The pseudopodia assist in locomotion and phagocytosis, but they also secrete proteolytic enzymes to digest particles outside the cell. Marine relatives, the foraminifera, secrete calcareous shells, contributing to reefs and sands.

Phaeophyta (Kingdom Stramenopila) Photosynthetic, mostly marine brown algae Odd features  Body multicellular, supported by water, so simple thallus Sometimes huge (45m!) thallus attached to substrate by holdfast Occasionally pelagic (floating) Sargassum in Sargasso sea  Chloroplasts inside rough ER membrane  Photosynthetic pigments: chlorophyll a, c, fucoxanthin  Storage materials: laminarin polysaccharide  Wall polysaccharides: cellulose and alginic acid  Tinsel-type flagella on zoospores and gametes, so centriole present  Gametangia: antheridia (male) and oogonia (female)  Gametes: isogamous, anisogamous, oogamous 1500 species

Sphacelaria (and diatom) Here are some brown algae which I hope you have or will observe in laboratory… s_Phaeo/ectocarpus_conifervoides_ _g_543 w.jpg Ectocarpus siliculosus

Rhodophyta (A Separate Kingdom?) Photosynthetic, mostly marine red algae Odd features  Body multicellular, supported by water, so simple thallus Thallus attached to substrate by holdfast Rarely pelagic (floating)  Unique chloroplasts indicate unique endosymbiosis  Photosynthetic pigments: chlorophyll a, phycoerythrin, phycocyanin…colors can be red, brown, purple, blue, green, blackish!  Storage materials: floridean starch in cytosol (  -1,4-glycan)  Wall polysaccharides: cellulose and agar or carrageenan  No flagella, so centriole missing  Gametangia: spermatangia (male) and carpogonium (female)  Some species encrust with calcium carbonate…contribute to reefs 4000 species

Compsopogon Caloglossa togallery/Callithamnion_baileyi_lb2306.jpg Callithamnion mg/poc.jpg Porphyridium Here are some of the example red algae. Some of these you will or should have observed in laboratory.
