Palpitida
''Palpitomonas'' is a genus of biflagellated protists within the phylum Cryptista'','' a clade of basal eukaryotes. This genus is especially significant for understanding the early evolution of mitochondria, Flagellum, flagella, and the broader Cryptista, cryptist lineage. ''Palpitomonas'' is a key model organism for studying the phylogenetic origins of Mitochondrion, mitochondria and eukaryotic motility structures, such as Flagellum, flagella. One of the most common species in the genus of ''Palpitomonas'' is ''Palpitomonas bilix'', which has been used in genomic and phylogenetic studies due to its special mitochondrial genome structure and basal phylogenetic position. Introduction ''Palpitomonas'' is an important organism for research on the origins of Eukaryote, eukaryotic life. Palpitomonas bilix, ''Palpitomonas'' ''bilix'' have some unique characteristics that are rare in the other eukaryotes, characterized by its small size, biflagellate structure, and unique mitochondrial ...

Protist
A protist ( ) or protoctist is any eukaryotic organism that is not an animal, land plant, or fungus. Protists do not form a natural group, or clade, but are a paraphyletic grouping of all descendants of the last eukaryotic common ancestor excluding land plants, animals, and fungi. Protists were historically regarded as a separate taxonomic kingdom known as Protista or Protoctista. With the advent of phylogenetic analysis and electron microscopy studies, the use of Protista as a formal taxon was gradually abandoned. In modern classifications, protists are spread across several eukaryotic clades called supergroups, such as Archaeplastida ( photoautotrophs that includes land plants), SAR, Obazoa (which includes fungi and animals), Amoebozoa and " Excavata". Protists represent an extremely large genetic and ecological diversity in all environments, including extreme habitats. Their diversity, larger than for all other eukaryotes, has only been discovered in rece ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
