Retention of transcriptionally active cryptophyte nuclei by the ciliate Myrionecta rubra
Nature
2007

It is well documented that organelles can be retained and used by predatory organisms, but in most cases such sequestrations are limited to plastids of algal prey(1).

Sequestration, performance, and functional control of cryptophyte plastids in the ciliate Myrionecta rubra (Ciliophora)
Journal Of Phycology
2006

Myrionecta rubra (Lohmann 1908, Jankowski 1976) is a photosynthetic ciliate with a global distribution in neritic and estuarine habitats and has long been recognized to possess organelles of cryptophy

Role of feeding in growth and photophysiology of Myrionecta rubra
Aquatic Microbial Ecology
2005

Myrionecta rubra is a cosmopolitan estuarine and neritic ciliate, known to cause 'redwater' blooms.

Highly divergent SSU rRNA genes found in the marine ciliates Myrionecta rubra and Mesodinium pulex
Protist
2004

Myrionecta rubra and Mesodinium pulex are among the most commonly encountered planktonic ciliates in coastal marine and estuarine regions throughout the world.

Limnology and Oceanography
2003

Potential grazing rates on the bloom forming dinoflagellates Prorocentrum minimum and Karlodinium micrum were measured in Chesapeake Bay during summer (2000). Cultured P. minimum and K.
