Comparisons between orders of Nassophorea were conducted and a discussion of systematics was performed based on a SSU rRNA gene-based phylogeny. The order Colpodidiida and Nassulida shared the following features: Two pairs of alveolocysts in the cortex, the presence of a ‘‘B-cartwheel’’ in the distal region of the kinetosome, the presence of cytostomal lamellae and subcytostomal lamellae in the cytopharyngeal basket, and spindle trichocysts with a simple tip. These similarities shape a core group of Nassophorea, which are morphologically and genetically different from the order Microthoracida. Consequently, Microthoracida should be regarded as an independent taxon rather than a member of Nassophorea. Within the core group of Nassophorea, Colpodidiida as an independent order is further validated by its delicate cytopharyngeal basket which lacks nematodesmal lamellae; while the non-monophyly of the order Nassulida might be explained by differentiation of the cartwheels in kinetosomes and the arrangement of kinetosomes with postciliary microtubules in the nassulid organelle 3 within its members.</div>","PeriodicalId":20781,"journal":{"name":"Protist","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40320270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We illustrate the life stages of cultivated genera, and summarise all reported interspecies associations, which in turn suggest lifestyles of predation and parasitism.
