Granofilosea

	Granofilosea Granofilosea is a class of cercozoans in the subphylum Filosa. Three groups that were traditionally considered heliozoans belong here: the Heliomonadida, Desmothoracida and Gymnosphaerida, which were recently grouped into the new class of Granofilosea.

	Cryptofilida Cryptofilida () is an order of small heterotrophic protists in the phylum Cercozoa. They are filose amoebae that lack cilia and gliding, and are instead characterized by movement through branching or unbranched granular filopodia that are appressed to the substrate during their feeding. In studies on the impact of conventional soil management, Cryptofilida were identified as ecological indicators. Phylogeny and taxonomy Phylogeny Cryptofilida is a clade inside Granofilosea, and is phylogenetically related to Limnofilida, a group with similar amoeboid protists. However, the exact relationships between the granofilosean clades is still unresolved. Two outcomes are shown here from the 2009 analysis that identified the group for the first time: A more recent analysis shows this result: Taxonomy The order contains two families with one species each.

	Filosa Cercozoa is a phylum of diverse single-celled eukaryotes. They lack shared morphological characteristics at the microscopic level, and are instead defined by molecular phylogenies of rRNA and actin or polyubiquitin. They were the first major eukaryotic group to be recognized mainly through molecular phylogenies. They are the natural predators of many species of microbacteria and Archea. They are closely related to the phylum Retaria, comprising amoeboids that usually have complex shells, and together form a supergroup called Rhizaria. Characteristics The group includes most amoeboids and flagellates that feed by means of filose pseudopods. These may be restricted to part of the cell surface, but there is never a true cytostome or mouth as found in many other protozoa. They show a variety of forms and have proven difficult to define in terms of structural characteristics, although their unity is strongly supported by phylogenetic studies.

	Heliomonadida The Heliomonadida (formerly Dimorphida) are a small group of heliozoan amoeboids that are unusual in possessing flagella throughout their life cycle. Classification Genetic studies place them among the Cercozoa, a group including various other flagellates that form filose pseudopodia. This order has recently been placed into the new class of naked filose cercozoans called Granofilosea. There are two genera in this order: * ''Heliomorpha'', a tiny organism found in freshwater * the larger '' Tetradimorpha'', which is distinguished by having four rather than two flagella. Morphology Bundles of microtubules, typically in square array, arise from a body near the flagellar bases and support the numerous axopods that project from the cell surface. Dimorphids have a single nucleus, and mitochondria A mitochondrion (; ) is an organelle found in the Cell (biology), cells of most Eukaryotes, such as animals, plants and Fungus, fungi.

	Mesofilidae ''Mesofila'' () is a genus of freshwater heterotrophic protists of the phylum Cercozoa. It is the only genus in the family Mesofilidae. It is a monotypic genus, with the sole species ''M. limnetica'' (). Morphology ''Mesofila limnetica'' are small biciliate amoebae with several, extremely long, branching filopodia that, unlike Heliomorphidae, do not radiate in three dimensions but rather remain in contact against the substrate during feeding. The two long cilia and the long filopodia can be present simultaneously or each on their own, depending on the life cycle phase. ''Mesofila'' have two phases: amoeboid and flagellate. Amoeboid phase. The immotile amoeboid cells are 9 to 14 μm in diameter and have a circular or slightly polygonial shape with a pitted surface. The central nucleus takes up around a quarter of the cell body's diameter and has a conspicuous nucleolus in its center. The filopodia appear from all around the cell, but slightly thicker filopodia usually emerge ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR:* [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Nanofila ''Nanofila'' () is a genus of marine heterotrophic protists of the phylum Cercozoa. It is the only genus in the family Nanofilidae.
