| Research Abstract |
It is generally believed in green plants that highly diverse ultrastructure of the cell including flagellar apparatus architecture is a reflection of their early evolutionary diversification. In this study we investigated many chrysophytes, including new marine species, ochromonadalean and sarcinochrysidalean algae on their cell structures and molecular basis to find out the prototype organisms of the chromophytes, since they have been believed to be an ancestral stock of heterokontes. Analysis of absolute configuration of the flagellar apparatus and other cell ultrastructure suggested that, 1) the order Sarcinochrysidales (sensu Gayral et Billard 1977) is probably an artificial taxon and consists of two monophyletic groups, one is directly linked to the pelagophycean algae and the other is closely related to the brown and yellowgreen algae, 2) a new species, Sulcochrysis biplastida, is a possible descendant of ancestral organisms that gave rise to the Pelagophyceae, Sarcinochrysidales sensu stricto, Pedinellophyceae and Dictyochophyceae, 3) another new species, Phaeomonas parva, is one of the most primitive heterokonts. The comparison of partial sequence data of the 18S rRNA suported it.
