词条 | Zooflagellate |
释义 |
In some older systems of classification, Zoomastigophora is a phylum (more commonly known as zooflagellates) within the kingdom Protista. Organisms within this group have a spherical, elongated body with a single central nucleus. They are single-celled, heterotrophic eukaryotes and may form symbiotic relationships with other organisms, including Trichomonas.[1] Some species are parasitic, causing diseases such as the African Sleeping Sickness, caused by the zooflagellate Trypanosoma brucei.[2] Zooflagellates have one or more flagella but do not have plastids or cell walls.[3] A few are mutualistic, such as those that live in the guts of termites and aid the bacteria present in breaking down wood.{{citation needed|date=March 2015}} References1. ^{{MeshName|Zoomastigophora}} 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1O8-zooflagellate.html|title=Definition: zooflagellate from "A Dictionary of Zoology"|work= |accessdate=}} 3. ^{{cite journal|last1=Cavalier-Smith|first1=T|title=Zooflagellate phylogeny and classification.|journal=Tsitologiia|date=1995|volume=37|issue=11|pages=1010–29|pmid=8868448}} External links{{Taxonbar|from=Q8074171}}{{Eukaryote-stub}} 2 : Eukaryote phyla|Obsolete eukaryote taxa |
