Comparison of extant phototrophic, predatory, and parasitic species revealed how engulfment of an alga constrained cellular biochemistry in the future parasites to a dependence on their non-photosynthetic plastid. Reconstructions of the common ancestor of Apicomplexa point out how complex this organism was as for metabolic repertoire, life cycle, and structural pre-adaptations. This ancestor was supposedly adapted to aerobic and anaerobic environments, predated on other eukaryotes using a flagellum-derived apical complex, and exhibited a complex life cycle to respond to sudden environmental changes. Rather than discovering entirely new features, therefore, apicomplexans a rose mainly via reductive evolution of cellular structures and pathways existing in free-living ancestors.
