  2. Peranema - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peranema

    It has a pellicle with parallel finely-ridged proteinaceous strips underlain by microtubules arranged in a helical fashion around the body. With this type of pellicle, which is shared by many euglenids, the spiraling microtubular strips are able to slide past one another, giving the organism an extremely plastic and changeable body shape.

  3. Euglena - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euglena

    Spiral pellicle strips. Euglena lacks a cell wall. Instead, it has a pellicle made up of a protein layer supported by a substructure of microtubules, arranged in strips spiraling around the cell. The action of these pellicle strips sliding over one another, known as metaboly, gives Euglena its exceptional flexibility and contractility. [19]

  4. Euglenid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euglenid

    The pellicle is composed of proteinaceous strips underneath the cell membrane, supported by dorsal and ventral microtubules. This varies from rigid to flexible, and gives the cell its shape, often giving it distinctive striations. In many euglenids, the strips can slide past one another, causing an inching motion called metaboly. Otherwise ...

  5. Spirocuta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirocuta

    In particular, members of Spirocuta share a synapomorphy, or unique trait: their high number of strips (between 16 and 56) confers the cells with an immense flexibility, allowing them to actively stretch and deform. [1] This process is known as metaboly or euglenid motion. [6] [3] Euglena, moving by metaboly and swimming

  7. Moyeria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moyeria

    Moyeria is a genus of fossils initially considered acritarchs, of unknown evolutionary affinity.They were widely interpreted as resting cysts of marine algae. Its vesicle wall has a distinct ultrastructure that resembles the pellicle of euglenids, which is composed of proteinaceous strips.

  8. Euglenaceae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euglenaceae

    As with other euglenids, cells in the Euglenaceae are surrounded by a series of proteinaceous strips called the pellicle; the pellicle can stretch in most genera, allowing the cell to contract, creating a type of movement called metaboly.
