Dinoflagellates exposed,
By Howard Schneider (Thornhill, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dinoflagellates (Cell Biology) (Hardcover)
Dinoflagellates are unicellular organisms found in marine and freshwater environments. Certain features of the dinoflagellates' DNA organization and replication differ from other eukaryotes and are closer to prokaryotes, thus raising the possibility of the dinoflagellates as intermediately evolved organisms between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. However, the dinoflagellate Oxyrrhis marina has eukaryotic features such as histones, nucleosomes, spindle, etc. Thus, the features of other dinoflagellates are most probably a divergence from standard eukaryotic features that occurred over their billions of years of existence. In fact, evolutionary trees based on 5S RNA sequences analyzed in 1981 indicate that dinoflagellates emerged after fungi, the latter having full eukaryotic features.
