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! Secondary Symbioses Multicellular Animals MyxozoansProtozoans Tracheophytes Bryophytes True Fungi Slime Molds Red algae Brown Algae Green Algae Chrysophytes EuglenoidsArchezoans Archaea Bacteria Original Cell Extant Extinct Cyanobacterium endosymbiosis Eukaryotes ARE Chimeras! Eubacterium endosymbiosis Euglenoid mitochondria are unique! For euglenoids, the chloroplast is a secondary endosymbiosis. Chlorophyte algal endosymbiosis http://bio.rutgers.edu/euglena/

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

Eubacterium endosymbiosis For brown algae, the chloroplast is also a secondary endosymbiosis.

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

Some of these you will or should have observed in laboratory.
