Topic: Euglyphid


  
  Euglyphid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The euglyphids are a prominent group of filose amoebae that produce shells or tests from siliceous scales, plates, and sometimes spines.
Euglyphids are common in soils, marshes, and other organic-rich environments, feeding on tiny organisms such as bacteria.
The euglyphids are traditionally grouped with other amoebae.

Euglyphid amoebas differ from other amoebas because they have an external test, their defining characteristic (Margulis and Schwartz, 1998).
Genera from the euglyphid amoebas have been placed in rhizopoda according to Schuster (1990) and Bovee (1985), but Baldauf (2003), Margulis and Schwartz (1998) and Holt (2004) do not discuss their placement within any group or phylum.
Class Lobosea, the class of the euglyphid amoebas, have been known as “gypsy” class due to common placement in both the rhizopoda and foraminfera (Holt pers.

 Cercozoa   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The group was first defined as a phylum by Cavalier-Smith in 1998.
The best-known Cercozoa are the euglyphid s, filose amoeboids that produce shells, which are common in soils, in nutrient-rich waters, and on aquatic plants.
The shells are composed of siliceous scales or plates in a more or less regular arrangement, formed within the cell and then assembled on its surface.

Evidence from polyubiquitin gene structure that Foraminifera are related to Cercozoa.
Figure shows a junction between two ubiquitin monomers in polyubiquitins from Foraminifera and Cercozoa (chlorarachniophytes, cercomonads, and a euglyphid) aligned with those of animals, fungi, plants, algae, and other protists.

 RHODOPHYTAE
These tend to be coccoid and occur in loose colonies formed by the persistent cell wall of the parent cell following division.
They are clearly blue-green and their plastids retains aspects of the primary cyanobacterial endosymbiont not seen in any other taxa (except an unrelated euglyphid amoeba).
All occur in freshwater, but are rarely observed.

 Diversity and evolutionary history of plastids and their hosts -- Keeling 91 (10): 1481 -- American Journal of Botany
Plastids are color-coded to distinguish the three primary plastid lineages (cyanobacteria and glaucophyte plastids are both blue-green, red algal plastids are red, and green algal plastids are dark green).
At the top center, a cyano bacterium of unknown type is taken up by an ancestor of the plant supergroup, the direct descendent of which are the three primary algal lineages, glaucophytes, red algae, and green algae.
