Protistan species belonging to the phylum Apicomplexa have a non-photosynthetic secondary plastid-the apicoplast. Although its tiny genome and even the entire nuclear genome has been sequenced for several organisms bearing the organelle, the reason for its existence remains largely obscure. Some of the functions of the apicoplast, including housekeeping ones, are significantly different from those of other plastids, possibly due to the organelle's unique symbiotic origin.
