Telonemia is a phylum of microscopic eukaryote, single-celled organisms.[1] They are protists and are suggested to have evolutionary significance in being a possible transitional form between ecologically important heterotrophic and photosynthetic species among chromalveolates.[2][3]
One paper places them in the SAR supergroup.[4] Phylogenomic analyses of 127 genes place Telonemia with Centroheliozoa in a group also consisting of cryptomonads and haptophytes[5] (see Cryptomonads-haptophytes assemblage).
Although they have been studied in primarily marine environments, they have also been found in freshwater.[6][7]
Species [edit]
Although only two species have been described formally,[8] DNA sequences collected from seawater suggest there are many more species which have not yet been described.[9]
- Telonema antarctica Thomsen 1992
- Telonema subtile Griessmann 1913 (synonym Telonema subtilis Griessmann, 1913)[10]
