We have determined the complete nucleotide sequence of the small- subunit
ribosomal RNA genes for the ciliate protozoans Stylonychia pustulata and
Oxytricha nova. The sequences are homologous and sufficiently similar that
these organisms must be closely related. In a phylogeny inferred from
comparisons of several eukaryotic small-subunit ribosomal RNAs, the
divergence of the ciliates from the eukaryotic line of descent is seen to
coincide with the radiation of the plants, the animals, and the fungi. This
radiation is preceded by the divergence of the slime mold, Dictyostelium
discoideum.
