A close relationship has been shown between Discicristata and Jakobida, [15] the latter having tubular cristae like most other protists, and hence were united under the taxon name Discoba, which was proposed for this supposedly monophyletic group. [1]
Euglenozoa are a large group of flagellate Discoba. They include a variety of common free-living species, as well as a few important parasites, some of which infect humans. Euglenozoa are represented by four major groups, i.e., Kinetoplastea, Diplonemea, Euglenida, and Symbiontida.
Discosea is a class of Amoebozoa, consisting of naked amoebae with a flattened, discoid body shape. [1] Members of the group do not produce tubular or subcylindrical pseudopodia, like amoebae of the class Tubulinea.
Feb 22, 2024 · Euglena gracilis is a model organism of the eukaryotic supergroup Discoba, single-celled organisms containing mitochondria with discoid cristae.
Apr 28, 2023 · The resulting phylogeny identifies four lineages of eukaryotes currently classified as “Excavata” branching separately at the base of the tree. Thus, Parabasalia appear as the first major branch of eukaryotes followed sequentially by Fornicata, Preaxostyla, and Discoba.
The Discoba are unicellular, heterotrophic, secondary photosynthetic or mixotrophic organisms, having mitochondria with mostly discoidal cristae (e.g., Jakobida, Kinetoplastida, Euglenida, and Heterolobosea).

Do Discoba have mitochondria?
Is Discoba related to Parabasalia?
Data from Discoba (Heterolobosea, Euglenozoa, Tsukubamonadida, and Jakobida) are essential to understand the evolution of mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes), because this clade includes the most primitive-looking mitogenomes known, as well some extremely divergent genome information systems.
