“…This alga also has the smallest genome of all photosynthetic eukaryotes, and contains a minimal set of small membrane-bounded compartments; for example, a microbody (peroxisome), a single Golgi apparatus with two cisternae, coated vesicles, a single endoplasmic reticulum, and a few lysosome-like structures, as well as a small volume of cytosol ( Fig. 1) 6 . One of the main points of interest that we discuss regarding this alga focuses on the origin, evolution and fundamental traits (for example, multiplication and differentiation) of single-as well as double-membrane-bounded organelles in plant cells.…”
