TECHNICAL COMMENT
Comment on
The Evolution of Modern
Eukaryotic Phytoplankton
Falkowski et al. (1) reviewed the evidence
that three disparate groups of algae
dinoflagellates, diatoms, and coccolithophores, each with plastids derived from red
algae by secondary endosymbiosishave
come to dominate the oceans_ flora over the
past 250 million years and speculated about
the forces responsible for this domination.
Central to this speculation is the Bportable
plastid hypothesis[ (1, 2), which posits that
