Fig. 2.—

Venn diagram of the gene contents in the plastid genomes of Lepidodinium chlorophorum and Pedinomonas minor. This diagram illuminates that the protein-coding gene set in L. chlorophorum is the subset of that of P. minor. rpoC1 is highlighted by an asterisk, as this ORF is disrupted by multiple stop codons. Genes encoding proteins involved in metabolism, plastid division, translation, transcription, transport, and photosynthesis are shown in red, magenta, purple, yellow, brown, and white, respectively.
