Abstract excerpt
In order to reconstruct the evolution of euglenid flagellates, euglenozoan SSU rDNA data have been used to investigate phylogenetic relationships with a focus on osmotrophic taxa and especially on the Rhabdomonadales. The dataset consisting of the SSU rDNAs of osmotrophic, phagotrophic and phototrophic taxa was used in parsimony, maximum-likelihood and distance analyses. Five genera make up the Rhabdomonadales,...
