Abstract
The Alveolata is comprised of three major lineages – the ciliates, dinoflagellates and the apicomplexa. Within each lineage are a variety of medically, environmentally and biologically important organisms. These include: Plasmodium – an apicomplexan which causes malaria, Karenia brevis – a dinoflagellate which causes red tides and Tetrahymenathermophila – a ciliate often used as a model organism for the study of unicellular eukaryotic biology. While all the Alveolata contain mitochondria, many members also contain either achloroplast or a remnant non photosynthetic plastid termed the apicoplast. This study aimed to investigate the function of alveolate organelles.
