Ultrastructural features define robust groups of
protists
  • Flagellum - structure and associations
  • Flagellar rootlets
  • Mitotic spindle characters
  • Dividing nucleus
  • Mitochondrial cristae
  • Plastid structure bounding membranes
  • External spines, scales, etc.
  • Cytoskeletal materials
  • Extrusomes, contractile vacuoles, ingestion
    organelles
  • etc.

ultrastructural identity

How many groups have distinct ultrastructural
identities?
Algae 10 Amoebae 20 Slime Molds
6 Flagellates 39 Sporozoa 4 Ciliates

1 TOTAL 82 RESIDUA - 320
genera
On this scale Animals 1, Plants 1 , Fungi
1 that is - the units are kingdoms. By the
1980s, there were about 80 kingdoms of protists

A phylogenetic problems - what is the
relationship of 1, 2 and 3. We have to find out
which pair of 1, 2 and 3 are more closely related
to each other than they are to the third

We depict ignorance as an unresolved polytomies
and understanding as dichotomies

Leading to 1990s models of the evolution of the
eukaryotic cell
Early evolution was of amitochondriate eukaryotes
At a time when there was little free
oxygen? Might more ancient amitochondriate
protists still exist? And where would we find
them?

mud

Free-living amitochondriate flagellates

Mastigamoeba schizophrenia Pelobionts have
flagella one microtubular root
endoplasmic reticulum nuclei no Golgi
apparatus no mitochondria no plastids no
fibrous cytoskeleton
37
Flagellar idiosyncrasies in pelobionts might
indicate that they represent the first of the
flagellated eukaryotes

CONCLUSIONS
  • A tree will be assembled with ultrastructural and
    molecular data
  • Early confidence was misplaced

STATUS Structural insights seem robust, but
there are conflicts between molecular trees to be
resolved.
  • Disputes among molecular trees will be resolved
    in part by better taxonomic sampling, and by the
    benefits of accelerated technologies
  • PROSPECT The universal tree will probably be
    assembled from the tips of the branches in, and
    probably within the next decade
