Groups[4] | |
The Cercozoa are a group of single-celled eukaryotes. They lack shared morphological characteristics at the microscopic level,[5] being defined by molecular phylogenies of rRNA and actin or polyubiquitin.[6] They are the natural predators of many species of microbacteria and Archea.
Characteristics
The group includes most amoeboids and flagellates that feed by means of filose pseudopods. These may be restricted to part of the cell surface, but there is never a true cytostome or mouth as found in many other protozoa. They show a variety of forms[4] and have proven difficult to define in terms of structural characteristics, although their unity is strongly supported by genetic studies. Cercozoa are closely related to Foraminifera and Radiolaria, amoeboids that usually have complex shells, and together with them form a supergroup called the Rhizaria.
Types
They are sometimes grouped by whether they are "filose" or "reticulose".[7]
Filose (subphylum Filosa)
The best-known Cercozoa are the euglyphids, filose amoebae with shells of siliceous scales or plates, which are commonly found in soils, nutrient-rich waters, and on aquatic plants. Some other filose amoebae produce organic shells, including the tectofilosids and Gromia. They were formerly classified with the euglyphids as the Testaceafilosia. This group is not monophyletic, but nearly all studied members fall in or near the Cercozoa, related to similarly shelled flagellates. Other notable filose cercozoans include the cercomonads, which are common soil flagellates.
Reticulose (subphylum Endomyxa)
Another important group placed here are the chlorarachniophytes, strange amoebae that form a reticulating net. They are set apart by the presence of chloroplasts, which apparently developed from an ingested green alga. They are bound by four membranes and still possess a vestigial nucleus, called a nucleomorph. As such, they have been of great interest to researchers studying the endosymbiotic origins of organelles.
Chlorarachniophytes are sometimes considered Filosa, rather than Endomyxa, while groups such as Gromia are considered Endomyxa.[8] Filosa is apparently a monophyletic group, but Endomyxa is paraphyletic.[9]
Ungrouped
In addition, three groups that are traditionally considered heliozoans belong here: the Heliomonadida, Desmothoracida, and Gymnosphaerida, which were recently grouped into the new class of Granofilosea.[7]
Finally, cercozoans include the Phaeodarea, marine protozoa that were previously considered radiolarians.
Classification
The exact composition and classification of the Cercozoa are still being worked out. A general scheme is:
Class Chlorarachnea | Chlorarachniophyta |
Class Proteomyxidea | Gymnophryida, Heliomonadida, Desmothoracida, Gymnosphaerida, etc. |
Class Sarcomonadea | Cercomonadida |
Class Imbricatea / Silicofilosea | Euglyphida and Thaumatomonadida |
Class Thecofilosea | Tectofilosida and Cryomonadida |
Class Phaeodarea | |
Class Ebridea | Ebridea |
In addition two groups of parasites, the Phytomyxea and Ascetosporea, and the shelled amoeba Gromia may be basal Cercozoa, although some trees place them closer to the Foraminifera.
The spongomonads have been included here, but more recently have been considered Amoebozoa.[citation needed]
Some other small groups of protozoans are considered Cercozoa but are of uncertain placement, and it is likely many obscure genera will turn out to be cercozoans with further study.
Phylogeny
The initial molecular phylogenetic analyses of Cercozoa, based on ribosomal RNA and tubulins, recognized two subphyla, Endomyxa and Filosa, and showed a close relationship with phylum Retaria.[7][10]
However, the monophyly of the group was still uncertain. Posterior phylogenomic analyses consistently recovered Cercozoa as a paraphyletic group, and Endomyxa was often clustered with Retaria.[11][12][13] As a result, the current taxonomy of Rhizaria places Endomyxa inside the phylum Retaria instead of Cercozoa, which has therefore become synonymous with Filosa.[14]

| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Despite the taxonomic change of Endomyxa into phylum Retaria, thanks to better phylogenomic sampling a 2019 analysis recovered phylum Cercozoa as a monophyletic group, with Endomyxa being the sister group to Filosa. In the same analysis, Endomyxa, Filosa, Reticulofilosa and Monadofilosa are proven to be monophyletic too.[15]

In addition to Endomyxa and Filosa, a variety of clades inside Cercozoa have been discovered in other analyses and have slowly been described and named, such as Tremulida (previously known as Novel Clade 11)[16] and Aquavolonida (Novel Clade 10),[17] although their specific positions among the two main cercozoan subphyla have yet to be refined.
