Phylogeny, Ultrastructure, and Flagellar Apparatus of a New Marimonad Flagellate Abollifer globosa sp. nov. (Imbricatea, Cercozoa)

Abollifer is a little-known genus of marine heterotrophic flagellates with no ultrastructural and molecular information, and its taxonomic position remains uncertain. In this study, we report a new species of Abollifer, Abollifer globosa sp. nov., isolated from a seawater sample collected at Tokyo Bay. To reveal the taxonomic position and morphological characteristics of A. globosa, we performed light and electron microscopic observations and a...
