    Description: Some microbial eukaryotes, such as the extremophilic red alga Galdieria sulphuraria, live in hot, toxic metal-rich, acidic environments. To elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms of adaptation, we sequenced the 13.7-megabase genome of G. sulphuraria. This alga shows an enormous metabolic flexibility, growing either photoautotrophically or heterotrophically on more than 50 carbon sources. Environmental adaptation seems to have been facilitated by horizontal gene transfer from various bacteria and archaea, often followed by gene family expansion. At least 5% of protein-coding genes of G. sulphuraria were probably acquired horizontally. These proteins are involved in ecologically important processes ranging from heavy-metal detoxification to glycerol uptake and metabolism. Thus, our findings show that a pan-domain gene pool has facilitated environmental adaptation in this unicellular eukaryote.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Schonknecht, Gerald -- Chen, Wei-Hua -- Ternes, Chad M -- Barbier, Guillaume G -- Shrestha, Roshan P -- Stanke, Mario -- Brautigam, Andrea -- Baker, Brett J -- Banfield, Jillian F -- Garavito, R Michael -- Carr, Kevin -- Wilkerson, Curtis -- Rensing, Stefan A -- Gagneul, David -- Dickenson, Nicholas E -- Oesterhelt, Christine -- Lercher, Martin J -- Weber, Andreas P M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2013 Mar 8;339(6124):1207-10. doi: 10.1126/science.1231707.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Botany, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK 74078, USA. gerald.schoenknecht@okstate.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23471408" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Cyanophora paradoxa genome elucidates origin of photosynthesis in algae and plants (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-02-22
    Description: The primary endosymbiotic origin of the plastid in eukaryotes more than 1 billion years ago led to the evolution of algae and plants. We analyzed draft genome and transcriptome data from the basally diverging alga Cyanophora paradoxa and provide evidence for a single origin of the primary plastid in the eukaryote supergroup Plantae. C. paradoxa retains ancestral features of starch biosynthesis, fermentation, and plastid protein translocation common to plants and algae but lacks typical eukaryotic light-harvesting complex proteins. Traces of an ancient link to parasites such as Chlamydiae were found in the genomes of C. paradoxa and other Plantae. Apparently, Chlamydia-like bacteria donated genes that allow export of photosynthate from the plastid and its polymerization into storage polysaccharide in the cytosol.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Price, Dana C -- Chan, Cheong Xin -- Yoon, Hwan Su -- Yang, Eun Chan -- Qiu, Huan -- Weber, Andreas P M -- Schwacke, Rainer -- Gross, Jeferson -- Blouin, Nicolas A -- Lane, Chris -- Reyes-Prieto, Adrian -- Durnford, Dion G -- Neilson, Jonathan A D -- Lang, B Franz -- Burger, Gertraud -- Steiner, Jurgen M -- Loffelhardt, Wolfgang -- Meuser, Jonathan E -- Posewitz, Matthew C -- Ball, Steven -- Arias, Maria Cecilia -- Henrissat, Bernard -- Coutinho, Pedro M -- Rensing, Stefan A -- Symeonidi, Aikaterini -- Doddapaneni, Harshavardhan -- Green, Beverley R -- Rajah, Veeran D -- Boore, Jeffrey -- Bhattacharya, Debashish -- MSP-14226/Canadian Institutes of Health Research/Canada -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Feb 17;335(6070):843-7. doi: 10.1126/science.1213561.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Natural Resources, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ 08901, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22344442" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
