Exploring the great microbial eukaryote diversity and evolution, one protist at a time. I’m fascinated by this question: how have #plastids evolved? #ProtistsOnSky | Associate Prof at Uppsala University. My lab: https://www.burki-lab.net/
Ahaha I don't know, the unicell red algae we have tried have failed, but these ones apparently have cell-wall-less stages, so it could be promising

ChloroScan: Recovering plastid genome bins from metagenomic data
Genome-resolved metagenomics has contributed largely to discovering prokaryotic genomes. When applied to microscopic eukaryotes, challenges such as the high number of introns and repeat regions found ...
