Bigelowiella natans is a species of Chlorarachniophyte alga that is a model organism for the Rhizaria.[1]
Chlorarachniophyte are unicellular marine algae with plastids of secondary endosymbiotic origin. Bigelowiella natans are a key resource for studying the supergroup of mostly unicellular eukaryotes.[1]
The Bigelowiella natans genome was the first rhizarian nuclear genome to be sequenced. The genome contains 94.7 Mbp encoding for 21,708 genes.[2][3]
