A diagram of Euglena

Euglena is a large genus of unicellular protists: they have both plant and animal characteristics.

All live in water, and move by means of a flagellum. This is an animal characteristic. Most have chloroplasts, which are characteristic of algae and plants.

Euglenids are believed to descend from an ancestor that took up green algae by secondary endosymbiosis.

Over 1,000 species of Euglena have been described, and there are more to be discovered. Their relationships are being analysed.
