Secondary endosymbiosis and the origin of organelles
Many plastids are bounded by two membranes
All descendants of primary endosymbiosis
Protists with secondary plastids
Groups of protists have stolen photosynthesise ability from plastid-bearing cells
Acquired plastids by cannibalising parts from photosynthetic prey
Acquisition as "Secondary Endosymbiosis"
Organisms with secondarily acquired plastids usually have multiple membranes surrounding
the plastids
Secondary endosymbiosis has been driving force of eukaryotic diversity
oSpawns enormous range of protists
Cryptomonads, heterokonts, euglenoids acquired plastids through secondary endosymbiosis
Many non-photosynthetic protists such as pathogens like Plasmodium (causes malaria) are
Protistan pirates
Chromist Protists: "the brown lineage"
Chromists are a diverse group
Clearly acquired plastids by secondary endosymbiosis of red alga
Brown algae have chlorophyll C
Red algae lack chlorophyll C
Gene sequencing identifies endosymbiont as red alga
Chromists have one smooth flagellum (posteriorly) and one hairy flagellum (anteriorly)
Typical for protists called heterokonts
Flagellates with secondary plastids: cryptomonads
Cryptomonads have small anterior invagination
Two flagella inserted
Unicellular
Reproduces asexually
Cryptomonad plastids have chlorophylls a and c plus phycobilin pigment
Products of photosynthesis stored outside plastid as starch
Have second small nucleus (nucleomorph)
oAssociated with plastid
Acquired ability to photosynthesize through secondary endosymbiosis

Many plastids are bounded by two membranes. Groups of protists have stolen photosynthesise ability from plastid-bearing cells. Acquired plastids by cannibalising parts from photosynthetic prey. Organisms with secondarily acquired plastids usually have multiple membranes surrounding the plastids. Secondary endosymbiosis has been driving force of eukaryotic diversity o. Cryptomonads, heterokonts, euglenoids acquired plastids through secondary endosymbiosis. Many non-photosynthetic protists such as pathogens like plasmodium (causes malaria) are.
