Quantifying genus-level divergence using 18S rDNA and its application to heterolobosea with discovery of a novel genus from Mombasa Kenya.

Scientific reports - 31 Mar 2026

Abstract excerpt

The phylum Heterolobosea comprises a morphologically diverse and ecologically versatile assemblage of free-living microbial eukaryotes, yet genus-level boundaries remain difficult to resolve due to limited diagnostic characters and extensive phenotypic plasticity. Here, we apply a reproducible 18S rDNA divergence framework to quantify genus-level divergence in Heterolobosea and to evaluate taxonomic placement of...
