The Tetramitia are the most extensive group of the Heterolobosea , a group of protists .

features

Flagellated forms usually have four flagella or two kinetids each , the kinetosomes of which are arranged in parallel (with the exception of stephanopogon ). The apomorphic feature is that the rRNA of the small ribosomal subunit has a characteristic hairpin structure with a 17 base pair stem and a base loop.

Systematics

The Tetramitia comprise three groups that were previously assigned to their own taxa, namely the Vahlkampfiidae , the Gruberellidae and the Acrasidae . Sister taxons are the Pharyngomonadidae , which consist of only one genus .
