Genera

Euglenaceae (also known as Euglenidae) is a family of flagellates in the phylum Euglenozoa. The family includes the most well-known euglenoid genus, Euglena.[1]

Morphology

Euglenaceae show the most morphological diversity within the class Euglenophyceae.[2] They are mostly single-celled organisms, except for the genus Colacium. They are free-living or sometimes inhabiting the digestive tracts of animals.[1] Two genera, Strombomonas and Trachelomonas produce outer shells called loricae.[3]

As with other euglenids, cells in the Euglenaceae are surrounded by a series of proteinaceous strips called the pellicle; the pellicle can stretch in most genera, allowing the cell to contract, creating a type of movement called metaboly. The genus Monomorphina is rigid or slightly metabolic.[1] Chloroplasts are present in most species, except for a few species that have lost them.[1] Chloroplasts are diverse in this family, with the size, number, and presence of pyrenoids being important identifying characteristics.[1]

Phylogeny

In its current circumscription, Euglenaceae is monophyletic.[3] Its sister family is Phacaceae, which contains several genera (Lepocinclis, Phacus, and Discoplastis) formerly included within Euglenaceae.[3] Two phylogenies are shown below.

Kim et al. (2010)

In this phylogeny, most Euglena species are sister to a clade consisting of Euglenaria and Euglena archaeoplastidiata.[3]

Euglenales

Bicudo & Menezes (2016)

This phylogeny places Euglena as sister to all other genera in Euglenaceae except for the genus Euglenaformis.[4]
