TAXONOMY OF FLAGELLATA | ||||||
Flagellata possess one or few flagellae with a blueprint characteristic of any eukaryotic cilium. EventUally non-flagellated specimens (palmella) can be observed. Flagellates with (reduced) plastids are called "phytoflagellata" (or phytomastigophora), while purely heterotropic groups are termed "zooflagellata" (or zoomastigophora). Phytoflagellates comprise the ordines 1 to 9. | ||||||
