Euglenaceae (also known as Euglenidae) is a family of flagellates in the phylum Euglenozoa. The family includes the most well-known euglenoid genus, Euglena. [1]

Euglena viridis is common and cosmopolitan in bodies of water rich in organic compounds. [2] It can also be bought through some institutions [6] [7] and can be maintained by replenishing it with fresh tap water and fresh leaf blades once a week. [3]
For example, one family has the name Euglenaceae under the ICNafp and the name Euglenidae under the ICZN. As another example, the genus name Dinema is acceptable under the ICZN, but illegitimate under the ICNafp, as it is a later homonym of an orchid genus, so that the synonym Dinematomonas must be used instead.
Euglena gracilis is the most studied member of the Euglenaceae. E. gracilis was discovered as an effective bioindicator for phenol pollution in freshwater ecosystems and drainage. [ 3 ] Their brief generating duration and particular biological reactions make it optimal for measuring phenol concentrations in the natural environment. [ 3 ]
Euglenales consists mostly of freshwater organisms, in contrast to its sister Eutreptiales which is generally marine. Cells have two flagella, but only one is emergent; the other is very short and does not emerge from the cell, so cells appear to have only one flagellum. [3]
Euglenophyceae are mainly present in the water column of freshwater habitats. They are abundant in small eutrophic water bodies of temperate climates, where they are capable of forming blooms, including toxic blooms such as those caused by Euglena sanguinea.
