Euglenaceae (also known as Euglenidae) is a family of flagellates in the phylum Euglenozoa. The family includes the most well-known euglenoid genus, Euglena. [1]
Euglenids or euglenoids are one of the best-known groups of eukaryotic flagellates: single-celled organisms with flagella, or whip-like tails.They are classified in the phylum Euglenophyta, class Euglenida or Euglenoidea.
For example, one family has the name Euglenaceae under the ICNafp and the name Euglenidae under the ICZN. As another example, the genus name Dinema is acceptable under the ICZN, but illegitimate under the ICNafp, as it is a later homonym of an orchid genus, so that the synonym Dinematomonas must be used instead.
Euglenales consists mostly of freshwater organisms, in contrast to its sister Eutreptiales which is generally marine. Cells have two flagella, but only one is emergent; the other is very short and does not emerge from the cell, so cells appear to have only one flagellum. [3]
Euglenophyceae are mainly present in the water column of freshwater habitats. They are abundant in small eutrophic water bodies of temperate climates, where they are capable of forming blooms, including toxic blooms such as those caused by Euglena sanguinea.
Phacus is a genus of unicellular excavates, of the phylum Euglenozoa (also known as Euglenophyta), characterized by its flat, leaf-shaped structure, and rigid cytoskeleton known as a pellicle.
Urceolus species are heterotrophic, and feed on algae through phagocytosis. [11] They have been reported in marine and freshwater sediments of various locations, both temperate and tropical, such as the Norwegian Oslofjord, [12] lake Tämnaren [] in Sweden, [13] the Danish portion of the Wadden Sea, [3] numerous ponds and wetlands in Czech Republic [11] and Russia, [8] tropical Australia, [14 ...
The Aderidae, sometimes called ant-like leaf beetles, are a family of beetles that bear some resemblance to ants.The family consists of about 1,000 species in about 40 genera, of which most are tropical, although overall distribution is worldwide.
