There was also a report in Nature earlier this year (senior author was
the Godfather of rRNA, Carl Woese) about the microsporidia Vairimorpha 
necatrix, which not only doesn't have mt, its rRNA looks more like a
eubacteria's than a eucaryote's.  Also see the section on eucaryotic
phylogeny in the June Microbiological Reviews article "Bacterial 
Evolution", also by The Godfather.  It's excellent.
