Telonemia

Telonemia is a phylum of microscopic eukaryote, single-celled organisms.[1] They were formerly classified as protists until that kingdom fell out of general use, and are suggested to have evolutionary significance in being a possible transitional form between ecologically important heterotrophic and photosynthetic species among chromalveolates.[2][3]

Telonemia
Scientific classification
Clade: TSAR
Phylum: Telonemia
Genera

One paper places them in the SAR supergroup.[4] Phylogenomic analyses of 127 genes place Telonemia with Centroheliozoa in a group also consisting of cryptomonads and haptophytes[5] (see Cryptomonads-haptophytes assemblage).

Although they have been studied in primarily marine environments, they have also been found in freshwater.[6][7]

Shalchian-Tabrizi et al say that 18S rDNA sequences in the phylum formed two major groups, Group 1 and 2, including T. subtilis and T. antarcticum respectively, and that these were further sub-divided into several statistically supported clades of sequences with restricted geographic distribution. Species of Telonemia are heterotrophic predators, feeding on a wide range of bacteria and pico- to nano-sized phytoplankton. Chloroplasts have not been observed in any of the investigated species.[8] By using specific PCR primers, they revealed a much larger diversity of Telonemia from environmental samples than previously uncovered by eukaryote-wide primers. They are globally distributed in marine waters and are frequently encountered in environmental clone libraries. The evolutionary origin of Telonemia was inferred from phylogenetic reconstruction of single- and concatenated sequences obtained from both cultured strains and environmental clones.[2]

Pawlowski identifies it as a micro-kingdom.[9] It is considered sister of the SAR group.[10]

Species

Although only two species have been described formally,[11] DNA sequences collected from seawater suggest there are many more species which have not yet been described.[12]

History

This genus was described in 1913 by Griessmann.[15]
