PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS AND A REVIEW OF THE HISTORY OF THE ACCIDENTAL PHYTOPLANKTER, PHAEODACTYLUM TRICORNUTUM BOHLIN (BACILLARIOPHYTA).

Phylogenetic analysis and a review of the history of the accidental phytoplankter, Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin (Bacillariophyta).

The diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum has been used as a model Charger for cell biologists and ecologists for over a century.We have incorporated several new raphid pennates into a three gene phylogenetic dataset (SSU, rbcL, psbC), and recover Gomphonemopsis sp.as sister to P.tricornutum with 100% BS support.This is the first time a close relative h
