Global metagenomics reveals plastid diversity and unexplored algal lineages.

Nature communications - 30 Jan 2026

Shrestha Bikash, Romero Miguel F, Villada Juan C, Blaby-Haas Crysten E, Schulz Frederik

Abstract excerpt

Photosynthetic organelles in eukaryotes originated through primary endosymbiosis with a cyanobacterium, an event that profoundly shaped the evolutionary landscape of the eukaryotic tree of life. Primary plastids in Archaeplastida, especially in cultivable plants and algae, contribute most to known plastid diversity. Secondary and higher-order endosymbiosis, involving eukaryotic hosts and algal endosymbionts,...
