The Spongomonadida are an order of heterotrophic flagellates that are part of the Cercozoa tribe .

features

The representatives are flagellates with two flagella that attach to the tip of the cell. The cells are embedded in a matrix of iron-containing mucus balls and can form large colonies. They do not form pseudopodia .

The mitochondria have tubular cristae. The two flagella attach to roughly parallel basal bodies . The basal bodies have radially radiating, fibrous anchoring structures and microtubules, as well as striated ribbons that run between the two basal bodies and run away from them. The dictyosome is located near the nucleus and the basal bodies.

Systematics

The Spongomonadida alone form the class Spongomonadea within the superclass Reticulofilosa, sub- strain Filosa . The order consists of the two species-poor genera Spongomonas and Rhipidodendron .
