Discoba genera

Naegleria is a genus consisting of 47 described species of protozoa often found in warm aquatic environments as well as soil habitats worldwide. It has three life cycle forms: the amoeboid stage, the cyst stage, and the flagellated stage, and has been routinely studied for its ease in change from amoeboid to flagellated stages. This genera became famous when Naegleria fowleri, the causative agent of the usually fatal human and animal disease primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), was discovered in 1965. Most species in the genus, however, are incapable of causing disease.

Stephanopogon is a genus of flagellated marine protist that superficially resembles a ciliate.

Jakoba is a genus in the taxon Excavata, and currently has a single described species, Jakoba libera described by Patterson in 1990, and named in honour of Dutch botanist (Algology, Myology and Lichenology) Jakoba Ruinen. (Previously described Jakoba incarcerata has been renamed Andalucia incarcerata, and Jakoba bahamensis /Jakoba bahamiensis is not formally described.) frame|left|Jakoba libera, phase contrast light micrograph living cell from type culture

Tsukubamonas is a unicellular heterotrophic, biflagellated excavate of the Discoba clade (along with jakobids, euglenozoans and percolozoans) with only one species known, Tsukubamonas globosa. It inhabits fresh-water, feeds on bacteria, and can exist as a vegetative cell or cyst. The cells are characterised with a spherical or semi-spherical shape, are highly vacuolated with thin subsurface vesicles and the absence of a contractile vacuole, tubular cristae in its mitochondria, and two flagella of an apparatus with five main structures (four basal bodies, three major microtubule roots, four maj

Reclinomonas is a monotypic genus of jakobid eukaryotes containing the single species Reclinomonas americana.

Percolomonas is a genus of free-living flagellate Heteroloboseans, forming a clade with Stephanopogon.

Vahlkampfia is a genus of amoeboids in Heterolobosea.

Lyromonas is a genus of Excavata unicellular organism.

Tetramitus is a genus of excavates.
