Euglyphia (protist)
Euglyphia is a group of imbricate protists in the phylum Cercozoa. They are unicellular eukaryotes characterized by a cell body covered in large imbricate scales, and an apical aperture through which they extend either filose pseudopodia or two cilia of different sizes that are not used for gliding. Classification Euglyphia is composed of 2 orders and 7 families, with a total of 14 different genera. *Order Euglyphida **Family Euglyphidae – '' Euglypha'' **Family Trinematidae – '' Corythion, Trinema'' **Family Sphenoderiidae – '' Sphenoderia, Trachelocorythion'' **Family Assulinidae – '' Assulina, Placocista'' **Family Cyphoderiidae – ''Cyphoderia ''Cyphoderia'' is a genus of marine cercozoa.

Euglyphida
The euglyphids are a prominent group of filose amoebae that produce shells or tests from siliceous scales, plates, and sometimes spines. These elements are created within the cell and then assembled on its surface in a more or less regular arrangement, giving the test a textured appearance. There is a single opening for the long slender pseudopods, which capture food and pull the cell across the substrate. Euglyphids are common in soils, marshes, and other organic-rich environments, feeding on tiny organisms such as bacteria. The test is generally 30-100 μm in length, although the cell only occupies part of this space. During reproduction a second shell is formed opposite the opening, so both daughter cells remain protected. Different genera and species are distinguished primarily by the form of the test. ''Euglypha'' and ''Trinema'' are the most common. The euglyphids are traditionally grouped with other amoebae. However, genetic studies instead place them with var ...

Paulinella
''Paulinella'' is a genus of at least eleven species including both freshwater and marine amoeboids. Its most famous members are the three photosynthetic species ''P. chromatophora'', ''P. micropora'' and ''P. longichromatophora'', the first two being freshwater forms and the third a marine form, which have recently (in evolutionary terms) taken on a cyanobacterium as an endosymbiont. As a result they are no longer able to perform phagocytosis like their non-photosynthetic relatives. The event to permanent endosymbiosis probably occurred with a cyanobiont. The resulting organelle is a photosynthetic plastid that is often referred to as a 'cyanelle' or chromatophore, and is the only other known primary endosymbiosis event of photosynthetic cyanobacteria, although primary endosymbiosis with a non-photosynthetic cyanobacterial symbiont have occurred in the diatom family ''Rhopalodiaceae''. The endosymbiotic event happened about 90–140 million years ago in a cyanobacterial species ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cyphoderiidae
Imbricatea is a class of Rhizaria characterised by silica scales. It is sometimes described as "Imbricatea/Silicofilosea", due to the similarity of those two groupings. Imbricatea is divided into the orders Euglyphida and Thaumatomonadida Thaumatomonadida is an order of flagellates.
