Search for the remnant of plastid in the cell of Rhabdomonas sp.
Soukal, Petr ; Hampl, Vladimír (advisor) ; Oborník, Miroslav (referee)
Phylum Euglenozoa contsists of four groups - Euglenoidea, Kinetoplastea, Symbiontida and Diplonemea. Phototrophic euglenids, which constitute a clade, possess green plastid acquired via secondary endosymbiosis from green alga related to recent genus Pyramimonas. According to generally accepted plastid-late hypothesis, the endo- symbiosis took place after split between phototrophic euglenids and all other euglenozo- ans. Endosymbiotic event is always associated with gene transfer from endosymbiont to nuclei of host. Even if the endosymbiont is completely lost we should be able to observe enrichment of the host genome with the genes derived from endosymbiont. Some recent phylogenetic analyses uncovered genes related to green algae in trypanosomas (Kineto- plastea: Trypanosomatida). Based on this observation, authors postulated a hypothesis that the plastid was present already in common ancestor of kinetoplastids and euglenids and was lost in kinetoplastids and some euglenids including osmotrophic Rhabdomonas costata. During analysis of transcriptome of R. costata we found 63 genes, which could originated from green (24 genes) or other (49 genes) algae. In phylogenetic trees only one was robustly related to green and four were robustly related to other algae. Since the number of genes related to...

Pilot study on the issue of Euglenophyta in the Czech Republic
JURÁŇ, Josef
On the basis of literature review and floristic survey of almost 150 localities a revised checklist and a proposal of redlist of the Euglenophytes of the Czech republic were made. 286 taxa are reported from our state from which 5 taxa are new for Czech republic - Lepocinclis caudata, Monomorphina reeuwykiana, Phacus arnoldii, Trachelomonas bituricensis var. lotharingia, Trachelomonas volvocina var. punctata. The proposed redlist contains 9 taxa which are threatened by small number of localities or settle biotopes threatened by human impact.

Euglenophytes of the Czech Republic in view of South Bohemia and the Bohemian Forest
JURÁŇ, Josef
A list of photosynthetic euglenoids of the Czech Republic was made from works about algal flora of the Czech Republic and this list was confronted with similar works from the Slovak Republic, Poland, Romania, Ukraine and Slovenia. Following the literature about algae from South Bohemia and the Bohemian Forest a checklist of photosynthetic euglenoids from this area was compiled. Data from this list were completed by my samples from this area. There were found 2 taxons new for the Czech Republic and 3 taxons new for South Bohemia and the Bohemia Forest.
