Classification : Creature Domain : Eukaryotes (eukaryota) without rank: Excavata without rank: Fornicata without rank: Parabasalia
Scientific name
Parabasalia
Honigberg , 1973

The Parabasalia are a group of protists within the Excavata .

features

In the case of the parabasalia, it has been proven that they used to have mitochondria which they subsequently lost again, which is why they have an anaerobic metabolism. So-called hydrogenosomes , cell organelles that are used to generate energy instead of mitochondria, are typical of the trichomonads subgroup .

Living ways

This article or the following section is not adequately provided with supporting documents ( e.g. individual evidence ). Information without sufficient evidence could be removed soon. Please help Wikipedia by researching the information and including good evidence.

Parabasalia can only be found in association with animals, either as pathogens, as symbionts or without any noticeable influence on the host. Trichomonas vaginalis causes a common sexually transmitted disease in humans. Other types of Trichomonas live inconspicuously in the human mouth. A number of different parabasalia are found in termites, where they contribute to the breakdown of cellulose so that termites can digest wood.

Systematics

Parabasalia, according to Adl et al. the following groups:

• Trichomonadea , this subheading includes:
  • Trichomonads
  • Mixotricha paradoxa
• Hypotrichomonadea
• Tritrichomonadea
• Cristamonadea
• Trichonymphea
• Spirotrichonymphea
