Abstract
Prochloron, a unicellular alga that combines some features of cyanophytes with others of chlorophytes, is a phylogenetic enigma. Mounting evidence from electron microscopy, comparative biochemistry and molecular biology now suggests that prochlorophytes probably arose from blue-green algal ancestors, perhaps less than 103 years ago.Keywords
