title: Dinoflagellate with blue-green chloroplasts derived from an endosymbiotic eukaryote.
abstract: The dinoflagellate, Amphidinium wigrense, contains triple membrane-bound bodies we have termed "blue-green chloroplasts." We believe these chloroplasts were derived from a cryptomonad endosymbiont similar to that present in another blue-green dinoflagellate, Gymnodinium acidotum. These dinoflagellates provide evidence that a chloroplast has evolved from an endosymbiotic eukaryote.
