Kipferlia bialata is a protist species that belongs to the group of Carpediemonas-like organisms of the Fornicata . It is the only representative of its genus. The species is similar to the species of the genera Carpediemonas and Dysnectes in appearance and habitat, but differs from them genetically.
features
The cells are free living, colorless, have 2 flagella and have a noticeable groove on the ventral side. The right edge of the channel is clearly enlarged by a fine membrane, which is visible by means of scanning electron microscopy . The posterior flagella beats within the groove and carries a single, broad, ventrally positioned wing.
Occurrence
Kipferlia bialata occurs in low-oxygen areas of the seas.
Systematics
Kipferlia bialata was originally first described as Cryptobia bialata by Jakoba Ruins in 1938 . Lee and Patterson classified the species in 2000 as Carpediemonas bialata in the genus Carpediemonas . In 2010 it was developed by Martin Kolisko et al. placed in its own genus Kipferlia .
The name Kipferlia goes back to the German word Kipferl (plural Kipferln). This is how small crescent-shaped baked goods are called in Austria and southern Germany. The name refers to the shape of the species.
