Biological role(s) of P. marinus sequences of particular interest. Several aspects of Perkinsus biology are highlighted, including the identification of pathways indicative of a relict/cryptic plastid, expression of numerous transporters and proteases likely be involved in the uptake of nutrients and the degradation of host components, enzymes and lectins involved in glycan assembly, protein folding and secretion, and parasite-host interactions.
