Euglenoidea
Sign in to saveEuglenids 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 Euglenozoa, class Euglenida or Euglenoidea. Euglenids are commonly found in fresh water, especially when it is rich in organic materials, but they have a few marine and endosymbiotic members. Many euglenids feed by phagocytosis, or strictly by diffusion. A monophyletic subgroup known as Euglenophyceae have chloroplasts and produce their own food through photosynthesis. This group contains the carbohydrate paramylon.
OverviewAI-generated
Euglenoidea is a taxonomic class within the phylum Euglenozoa and the kingdom Protozoa. It is also referred to by the common name euglenids. The classification is distinct from Euglenophyceae, which is listed as a synonym.
Organisms in this class inhabit marine, brackish, and freshwater environments. The taxon has an accepted status in biological records. There are 439,080 recorded occurrences associated with this group.

Euglenóides ou euglenófitas são um grupo de Excavata integrantes do filo Euglenozoa (também chamado de Divisão Euglenophyta na botânica) e classe Euglenoidea, que vivem em água doce. Como exemplo desses protistas pode-se citar a Euglena viridis, que é dotada de um flagelo frontal e se reproduz por cissiparidade. Quando sua reprodução é intensa, a água pode exibir coloração esverdeada. Os gêneros Euglena e estão entre os mais familiares. O corpo é alongado com uma invaginação, o reservatório, na extremidade anterior. O citóstoma está na base do reservatório e ligado a uma citofaringe. Algumas espécies possuem vacúolo contrátil que descarrega no reservatório, e dois flagelos, cada um apresentando uma série de .
