Abstract excerpt
Chlorarachniophytes are flagellated and/or reticulopod-forming marine algae with chlorophyll a- and b-containing plastids of secondary endosymbiotic origin. They are one of only two algal groups known to possess a "nucleomorph" (i.e. the remnant nucleus of the eukaryotic endosymbiont that donated the plastid).
