These common, globally distributed microbes are barely bigger than bacteria, yet they’re members of the same domain as animals, fungi, and plants, and everything from what they eat to where they fit ...

Plastids are core components of photosynthesis in plants and algae. Scientists are currently debating the events leading to the appearance of plastids in eukaryotic cells. Where did plastids ...

Brown algae are photosynthetic, multicellular, marine eukaryotes. These organisms have independently evolved several important biological characteristics, such as multicellularity, complex life ...

Shown are representatives of all major lineages of eukaryotic organisms ... such as the chlorophycean algae (of which the volvocine algae are members) also include several colonial species.

The Algological Research Group, located in Viikki as well as Lahti campuses, focuses on eukaryotic photosynthetic and mixotrophic algae. The algae are both of marine (brackish) and freshwater origin, ...

The primary plastids of red and green algae have spread from the Archaeplastida to other branches of the tree, including Rhizaria, Discoba, and Stramenopila. The colored taxon names in these ...
