From: The Rubisco small subunits in the green algal genus Chloromonas provide insights into evolutionary loss of the eukaryotic carbon-concentrating organelle, the pyrenoid

Bayesian phylogenetic tree of the Reticulata group of the genus Chloromonas based on the combined 7,109-bp data matrix for nuclear 18S and 28S ribosomal DNA, atpB, psaA, psaB, and ITS-2 sequences, showing evolution of pyrenoids. Numbers shown in top left, top right, bottom left, and bottom right exhibit posterior probabilities (0.95 or more) from Bayesian inference and bootstrap values (50% or more) from maximum likelihood, maximum parsimony, and neighbor-joining analyses, respectively. Presence (+) or absence (−) of pyrenoids in the Reticulata group is based on the previous light and electron microscopic studies [16,17,18]. Pyrenoid loss was deduced by using Mesquite V3.6 [47]. In light microscopic photographs, vegetative cells of C. chlorococcoides strain SAG 15.82 and C. reticulata strain SAG 29.83 are shown, bars represent 5 μm and an arrow indicates a pyrenoid
