description

In search of a natural systematic locality for algae — and also for other organisms — quite regularly the central question of evolution comes up. This proves as especially pertinent, when the taxonomic position of the most original phytoflagellates has to be considered. In the classical view of the direct filiation theory the ancestral phytoflagellata is positioned at the verge of the prokaryotic to the eukaryotic stage.
