Species of Euglena were among the first protists to be seen under the microscope. In 1674, in a letter to the Royal Society, the Dutch pioneer of microscopy Antonie van Leeuwenhoek wrote that he had collected water samples from an inland lake, in which he found "animalcules" that were "green in the middle, and before and behind white."

Schematic representation of a Euglena cell with red eyespot (9) Schematic representation of a Chlamydomonas cell with chloroplast eyespot (4). The eyespot apparatus (or stigma) is a photoreceptive organelle found in the flagellate or (motile) cells of green algae and other unicellular photosynthetic organisms such as euglenids.
Euglena gracilis is a freshwater species of single-celled alga in the genus Euglena. It has secondary chloroplasts , and is a mixotroph able to feed by photosynthesis or phagocytosis . It has a highly flexible cell surface, allowing it to change shape from a thin cell up to 100 μm long to a sphere of approximately 20 μm.
Peranema. Peranema's basic anatomy is that of a typical euglenid.The cell is spindle or cigar-shaped, somewhat pointed at the anterior end. It has a pellicle with parallel finely-ridged proteinaceous strips underlain by microtubules arranged in a helical fashion around the body.
If treated as an alga, it would fall under the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN) and its correct name would be Euglenaceae; if treated under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) it is called Euglenidae. [1] Euglenids such as these are considered to be ambiregnal protists due to their parallel naming systems ...
A new year means more viral moments of animals being animals. From Florida alligators and Oregon black bears to a Massachusetts great white shark, 2024 proved to be a big year for ferocious animal ...
The phagotrophs, although paraphyletic, have historically been classified under the name of Heteronematina. [9] In addition, euglenids can be divided into inflexible or rigid euglenids, and flexible or metabolic euglenids which are capable of 'metaboly' or 'euglenid motion'. Only those with more than 18 protein strips in their pellicle gain ...
