- Dinoflagellates: A mutational powerhouse and the rapid loss of photosynthesis. Lin, Senjie Photosynthesis Dinoflagellida Mutation Genome, Chloroplast A new study unveils a remarkable facet of dinoflagellate biology: these algae can spontaneously lose photosynthesis via deletion of chloroplast genome minicircles. This rapid gene loss dwarfs the slow laboratory-induced mutations previously achieved and provides insight into the extraordinary adaptability of an ecologically successful lineage.
