Diversity
28 species

Theapusomonads(familyApusomonadidae) are a group ofprotozoanzooflagellatesthat glide on surfaces, and mostly consumeprokaryotes.They are of particular evolutionary interest because they appear to be the sister group to theOpisthokonts,the clade that includes bothanimalsandfungi.Together with theBreviatea,these form theObazoaclade.[3][4][5]

Characteristics

[edit]

Apusomonads are smallglidingheterotrophicbiflagellates(i.e. with twoflagella) that possess aproboscis,formed partly or entirely by the anterior flagellum surrounded by a membranous sleeve. There is apellicleunder the dorsal cell membrane that extends into the proboscis sleeve and into a skirt that covers the sides of the cell. Apusomonads present two different cell plans:[6]

  • Derived cell plan, represented byApusomonas,with a roundcell bodyand amastigophore,a projection of the cell containing bothbasal bodiesat its end.[6]
  • "Amastigomonas-like "cell plan, with an oval or oblong cell that generally formspseudopodiafrom the ventral surface, with no mastigophore, and the proboscis comprising solely the flagellum and the sleeve. These characteristics are considered 'primitive' or 'ancestral' in comparison withApusomonas.Organisms with this body plan, although historically assigned to the same genusAmastigomonas,are aparaphyleticgroup from whichApusomonashas evolved.[6][7]

Evolution

[edit]

External relationships

[edit]

The apusomonads are the sister group toOpisthokonta,the lineage that includesanimals,fungiand an array of relatedprotists.Because of this, apusomonads occupy an importantphylogeneticposition to understandeukaryotic evolution.They retain ancestral characteristics, such as thebiflagellatebody plan,which in opisthokonts evolves into a uniflagellate plan.[7]

Apusomonads are vital to understandingmulticellularity.Genes involved in multicellularity have been found in the apusomonadThecamonas,[8]such as adhesion proteins, calcium-signaling genes and types of sodium channels characteristic of animals.[6]Thegenomeof the strain "Amastigomonassp. "presents theintegrin-mediatedadhesionmachinery, the primarycell-matrix adhesionmechanism seen inMetazoa(animals).[9]

Internal relationships

[edit]

Apusomonads are a poorly and narrowly studied group.[6]Currently, the diversity of described apusomonads consists of the roundApusomonasand a wide array of "Amastigomonas-type "organisms that have been reclassified into the generaThecamonas,Manchomonas,Podomonas,Multimonas,Chelonemonasand, most recently,Catacumbia,Cavaliersmithia,Karpovia,MylnikoviaandSingekia.The relationships between these genera are depicted by the cladogram below.[7]

Taxonomy

[edit]

History

[edit]

Apusomonads were first described in 1989 as onefamilyApusomonadidaeinside the monotypicorderApusomonadida,as a group of flagellates containing the generaApusomonasandAmastigomonas.[1]Later, BritishprotozoologistThomas Cavalier-Smithclassified them within the monotypicclassThecomonadeaas part of theparaphyleticphylumApusozoa.[2]Moderncladisticapproaches toeukaryoticclassification refer to apusomonads by their order-level name alone.[7][10]

Classification

[edit]

There are 10 recognized genera, as well as the "Amastigomonas-like "archetypethat includes primitive forms not yet transferred to new genera.[7]
