Chromista

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Chromista are a eukaryotic supergroup, probably polyphyletic,[1][2] which may be treated as a separate
kingdom or included among the Protista. They include all algae whose chloroplasts contain chlorophylls a and
c, as well as various colorless forms that are closely related to them. These chloroplasts are surrounded by four
membranes, and are believed to have been acquired from some red algae.

Groups
Chromista has been defined in different ways at different times. The name Chromista was first introduced by
Cavalier-Smith in 1981;[3] the earlier names Chromophyta, Chromobiota and Chromobionta correspond to
roughly the same group.

It has been described as consisting of three different groups:[4]

Heterokonts or stramenopiles: brown algae, diatoms, water moulds, etc.


Haptophytes
Cryptomonads

In 2010, Thomas Cavalier-Smith indicated his desire to move Alveolata, Rhizaria and Heliozoa into
Chromista.[5]

Some examples of classification of the Chromista and related groups are shown below.[6][7]

Chromophyces (Chadefaud, 19 50)

The Chromophyces (Chadefaud, 1950),[8] renamed Chromophycota (Chadefaud, 1960),[9] included the current
Ochrophyta (autotrophic Stramenopiles), Haptophyta (included in Chrysophyceae until Christensen, 1962),
Cryptophyta, Dinophyta, Euglenophyceae and Choanoflagellida (included in Chrysophyceae until Hibberd,
1975).

Chromophyta (Christensen 1962 , 1989)

The Chromophyta (Christensen 1962, 1989), defined as algae with chlorophyll c, included the current
Ochrophyta (autotrophic Stramenopiles), Haptophyta, Cryptophyta, Dinophyta and Choanoflagellida. The
Euglenophyceae were transferred to the Chlorophyta.
Chromophyta (Bourrelly, 1968)

The Chromophyta (Bourrelly, 1968) included the current Ochrophyta (autotrophic Stramenopiles), Haptophyta
and Choanoflagellida. The Cryptophyceae and the Dinophyceae were part of Pyrrhophyta (= Dinophyta).

Chromista (Cavalier-Smith, 1981)

The Chromista (Cavalier-Smith, 1981) included the current Stramenopiles, Haptophyta and Cryptophyta.

Chromalveolata (Adl et al., 2005 )

The Chromalveolata (Cavalier-Smith, 1981) included Stramenopiles, Haptophyta, Cryptophyta and Alveolata.

Chromista (Cavalier-Smith, 2010)

The Chromista (Cavalier-Smith, 2010) included Harosa (Stramenopiles, Alveolata and Rhizaria) and Hacrobia
(Haptophyta, Cryptophyta and centrohelid Heliozoa).

History and controversy


Molecular trees have had some difficulty resolving relationships between the different groups. All three may
share a common ancestor with the alveolates (see chromalveolates), but there is evidence that suggests that the
haptophytes and cryptomonads do not belong together with the heterokonts.[1][10]
