Glissomonadida
Order of protists / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The glissomonads are a group of bacterivorous gliding flagellated protists that compose the order Glissomonadida, in the amoeboflagellate phylum Cercozoa.[1] They comprise a vast, largely undescribed diversity of soil and freshwater organisms.[3] They are the sister group to cercomonads; the two orders form a solid clade of gliding soil-dwelling flagellates called Pediglissa.[2]
