Chloroplasts are generally known as eukaryotic organelles whose main function is photosynthesis.
They perform other functions, however, such as synthesizing isoprenoids, fatty acids, …

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

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 …

Euglenophytes are a familiar algal group with green alga-derived secondary plastids, but
the knowledge of euglenophyte plastid function and evolution is still highly incomplete. With …

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 molecule. …

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

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

The chloroplasts of Euglena gracilis bounded by three membranes arose via secondary
endosymbiosis of a green alga in a heterotrophic euglenozoan host. Many genes were …

Euglena gracilis possesses secondary plastids of green algal origin. In this study, E. gracilis
expressed sequence tags (ESTs) derived from polyA-selected mRNA were searched and …

Euglena gracilis growth with antibacterial agents leads to bleaching, permanent plastid gene
loss. Colorless Euglena (Astasia) longa resembles a bleached E. gracilis. To evaluate the …
