Discoba
Group of single-celled microbes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Discoba is a diverse lineage of single-celled protists with two flagella. It is one of the main supergroups of eukaryotes, robustly supported by phylogenetic analyses. It contains three major groups: the Euglenozoa, Heterolobosea, and Jakobida, as well as the species Tsukubamonas globosa.[1][3][2]
