The Euglenida consists mostly of free-living flagellates with very diverse modes of nutrition. A number of heterotrophic euglenids (e.g., Petalomonas and Ploeotia) are limited to bacteriotrophy (Fig. 1a–c) while others (e.g., Dinema and Peranema) are capable of ingesting eukaryotic prey (Fig. 1f). We use the label “eukaryotroph” to distinguish the latter taxa from the bacteriotrophs (Triemer and Farmer 1991a; Leander and Farmer 2001b). Nonetheless, the most obvious euglenids in field samples…

Phylogeny and Classification of Euglenophyceae: A Brief Review
TLDR
This article summarizes recent advances in the phylogeny and classification of the phototrophic euglenids, aiming at understanding the situation of the group within the phylum Euglenozoa, as well as its evolutionary relationships and the changes in its taxonomic classification.

The chloroplasts of Euglena may have evolved from symbiotic green algae
TLDR
It is proposed that the chloroplasts of Euglena have arisen from the progressive reduction of endosymbiotic green algae and may be derived from the plasmalemma of the original symbiont.
