| Abstract |
Dysnectes brevis n. gen., n. sp., a free-living heterotrophic flagellate that grows under microaerophilic conditions possesses two flagella. The posterior one lies in a ventral feeding groove, suggesting that this flagellate is an excavate. Our detailed electron microscopic observations revealed that D. brevis possesses all the key ultrastructural characters considered typical of Excavata. Among the 10 excavate groups previously recognized, D. brevis displays an evolutionary affinity to members of the Fornicata (i.e. Carpediemonas, retortamonads, and diplomonads). Firstly, a strong D. brevis-Fornicata affinity was recovered in the phylogenetic analyses of small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) sequences, albeit the internal branching pattern of the D. brevis+Fornicata clade was not resolved with confidence. Corresponding to the SSU rRNA phylogeny, D. brevis and the Fornicata shared the following components of the flagellar apparatus: the arched B fiber bridging the right root; a posterior basal body; and a left root. Combining both morphological and molecular phylogenetic analyses, D. brevis is classified as a new free-living excavate in the Fornicata incertae sedis.
