Abstract
Red-fluorescent, non-phycobilin-containing plastids were found in the heterotrophic dinoflagellate, Dinophysis mitra. Transmission electron microscopy showed that they contained a three-layer thylakoid, the absence of girdle lamella, and an embedded pyrenoid with thylakoid intrusions. These characteristics all coincide with haptophyte plastids. Phylogenetic analysis of the plastid small-subunit ribosomal DNA (SSU rDNA) revealed that the...
