Jakoba
''Jakoba'' is a genus in the taxon Excavata, and currently has a single described species, ''Jakoba libera'' described by Patterson in 1990, and named in honour of Dutch botanist (Algology, Myology and Lichenology) Jakoba Ruinen. (Previously described ''Jakoba incarcerata'' has been renamed ''Andalucia incarcerata'', and ''Jakoba bahamensis'' /''Jakoba bahamiensis'' is not formally described.) Appearance and characteristics ''Jakoba'' are small bacterivorous zooflagellates (jakobids) found in marine and hypersaline environments. They are free swimming trophic cells with two flagella and range between five and ten micrometers in length. Cells rotate along their longitudinal axis to allow for swimming in straight lines unless deformation and “squirming” occurs due to compression in debris. During feeding, bacteria are removed from the water column by a current created by the posterior flagellum. This current causes the bacteria to collect in the groove on the right ventra ...

Jakobea
Jakobids are an order of free-living, heterotrophic, flagellar eukaryotes in the supergroup Excavata. They are small (less than 15 μm), and can be found in aerobic and anaerobic environments. The order Jakobida, believed to be monophyletic, consists of only twenty species at present, and was classified as a group in 1993. There is ongoing research into the mitochondrial genomes of jakobids, which are unusually large and bacteria-like, evidence that jakobids may be important to the evolutionary history of eukaryotes. Molecular phylogenetic evidence suggests strongly that jakobids are most closely related to Heterolobosea (Percolozoa) and Euglenozoa. Structure and Biology Jakobids have two flagella, inserted in the anterior end of the cell, and, like other members of order Excavata, have a ventral feeding groove and associated cytoskeleton support. The posterior flagella has a dorsal vane and is aligned within the ventral groove, where it generates a current that the cell uses f ...

Stygiella (protist)
''Stygiella'' /ˌstɪ.d͡ʒiˈɛ.lə/ is a genus of free-living marine flagellates belonging to the family Stygiellidae in the jakobids (excavata). The genus currently includes four species, all of which are secondary obligate anaerobes. The species are all unicellular and crescent-shaped.Bernard, C, Simpson, A. G. B. & Patterson, D. J. (2000) Some free-living flagellates (protista) from anoxic habitats, Ophelia, 52:2, 113-142, DOI: 10.1080/00785236.1999.10409422. All members possess hydrogenosomes, a type of acristate mitochondrion-derived organelle (MRO) that produces hydrogen gas as a metabolic product.Leger, M. M., Eme, L., Hug, L. A., & Roger, A. J. (2016). ovel hydrogenosomes in the microaerophilic jakobid ''Stygiella incarcerata'' Molecular Biology and Evolution, 33(9), 2318-2336.

Reclinomonas
''Reclinomonas'' is a monotypic genus of jakobid eukaryotes containing the single species ''Reclinomonas americana''.Simpson, A. 2008''Reclinomonas'' Flavin & Nerad 1993. ''Reclinomonas americana'' Flavin & Nerad 1993.Version 05. The Tree of Life Web Project. This organism is a single cell up to 12 micrometers wide. It has two flagella. The cell is in a cup-like lorica which has a stem that attaches to a surface. When the cell reproduces, by undergoing binary fission, one of the two newly split cells produces a new lorica for itself. This protozoan can be found in freshwater. This species was the first jakobid to have its mitochondrial genome sequenced. It contains 97 genes, 62 of them code for proteins.Berg, J. M., et al. Biochemistry.' Edition 6. Macmillan. 2010. pg. 505. Other jakobids have been sequenced since, and the data were similar. It has been described as a member of the Excavata Excavata is a major supergroup of unicellular organisms belonging to the domain Euk ...

Excavata
Excavata is a major supergroup of unicellular organisms belonging to the domain Eukaryota. It was first suggested by Simpson and Patterson in 1999 and introduced by Thomas Cavalier-Smith in 2002 as a formal taxon. It contains a variety of free-living and symbiotic forms, and also includes some important parasites of humans, including ''Giardia'' and ''Trichomonas''. Excavates were formerly considered to be included in the now obsolete Protista kingdom. They are classified based on their flagellar structures, and they are considered to be the most basal flagellate lineage. Phylogenomic analyses split the members of Excavata into three different and not all closely related groups: Discobids, Metamonads and Malawimonads. Except for Euglenozoa, they are all non-photosynthetic. Characteristics Most excavates are unicellular, heterotrophic flagellates. Only the Euglenozoa are photosynthetic. In some (particularly anaerobic intestinal parasites), the mitochondria have been greatly ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
