Nucleomorphs are small, vestigial eukaryotic nuclei found between the inner and outer pairs of membranes in certain plastids. They are thought to be vestiges...

periplasm. Guillardia is the only cryptomonad to have its entire nucleus, nucleomorph, and plastid genome sequenced. This knowledge has prompted further studies...

Chlorarachniophytes, which belong to the phylum Cercozoa, contain a small nucleomorph, which is a relict of the algae's nucleus. Euglenids, which belong to...

The chloroplast is surrounded by two membranes and has no nucleomorph—all the nucleomorph genes have been transferred to the dinophyte nucleus. The endosymbiotic...

Their chloroplast is bounded by three layers of membrane without a nucleomorph. Normally, it is 40–65 μm long, slightly bigger than other well-known...

retained. When this retains a nucleus and a nuclear genome it is termed a nucleomorph. The unicellular eukaryote Paulinella chromatophora possesses an organelle...

surrounded by three membranes, and in the remaining lines by four. A nucleomorph, remnants of the original algal nucleus located between the inner and...

which is continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum, and contain a small nucleomorph between the middle two, which is a remnant of the alga's nucleus. This...

found to be in the posterior region of the cell. A single plastid and nucleomorph are present, with it possessing the biliprotein pigment Cr-phycoerythrin...

acquired from ingested endosymbiont green algae, and in the latter retain a nucleomorph (vestigial nucleus). Green algae are also found symbiotically in the...
