Regulation of chloroplast and nucleomorph replication by the cell cycle in the cryptophyte Guillardia theta

Abstract The chloroplasts of cryptophytes arose through a secondary endosymbiotic event in which a red algal endosymbiont was integrated into a previously nonphotosynthetic eukaryote. The cryptophytes retain a remnant of the endosymbiont nucleus (nucleomorph) that is replicated once in the cell cycl...
