Euglenoid flagellates are mainly fresh water protists growing in highly diverse environments
making them well-suited for a multiplicity of biotechnology applications. Phototrophic …

Euglenophyceae (phototrophic euglenids) are an important lineage within the Euglenida,
Euglenozoa. Most of the approximately 3000 described species are free-living, phototrophic …

In this study, we describe the mitochondrial genome of the excavate flagellate Euglena
gracilis. Its gene complement is reduced as compared with the well-studied sister groups …

Euglenids are a group of protists that comprises species with diverse feeding modes. One
distinct and diversified clade of euglenids is photoautotrophic, and its members bear green …

Euglena gracilis is a freshwater flagellate possessing secondary chloroplast of green algal
origin. This protist has numerous biotechnological applications such as production of …

Parasitic trypanosomatids and phototrophic euglenids are among the most extensively
studied euglenozoans. The phototrophic euglenid lineage arose relatively recently through …

Trans-splicing is a process by which 5′-and 3′-ends of two pre-RNA molecules
transcribed from different sites of the genome can be joined together to form a single RNA …

Euglena gracilis is a freshwater protist possessing secondary chloroplasts of green algal
origin. Various physical factors (eg UV) and chemical compounds (eg antibiotics) cause the …

Background Nuclear genes of euglenids contain two major types of introns: conventional
spliceosomal and nonconventional introns. The latter are characterized by variable non …

Taming a cyanobacterium in a pivitol event of endosymbiosis brought photosynthesis to
eukaryotes, and gave rise to the plastids found in glaucophytes, red and green algae, and …
