The parabasalids are a group of flagellated protists within the supergroup Excavata. Most of these eukaryotic organisms form a symbiotic relationship in animals. These include a variety of forms found in the intestines of termites [2] and cockroaches, many of which have symbiotic bacteria that help them digest cellulose in woody plants.

Jun 9, 2011 · We also analyzed parabasalid GAPDH homologs rooted with their closest relatives in Preaxostyla and Bacteria, with constant sites removed , hoping to identify the position of the root of the parabasalid tree. Relationships between the six parabasalid groups were unsupported except by Bayesian analysis in the rooted tree, except for the ...

Aug 7, 2010 · Description and Significance. Parabasalids (phylum Parabasalia) are anaerobic flagellated protists which contain at least one parabasal apparatus consisting of a parabasal body (Golgi complex) and a parabasal filament. Parabasalids can be distinguished by the presence of the microtubular axostyle-pelta complex, composed of a sheet of cross ...
Jan 9, 2012 · The goal of this study is to improve the phylogenetic framework of the relationships among parabasalid groups as well as of the evolution of parabasalid biodiversity by examining two additional genes encoding actin and elongation factor (EF)-1α in diverse parabasalid taxa of both cultivated and yet-uncultivated species.

Jun 9, 2011 · Background Parabasalia are single-celled eukaryotes (protists) that are mainly comprised of endosymbionts of termites and wood roaches, intestinal commensals, human or veterinary parasites, and free-living species. Phylogenetic comparisons of parabasalids are typically based upon morphological characters and 18S ribosomal RNA gene sequence data (rDNA), while biochemical or molecular studies of ...
