Supergroup excavata-diplomonads
Create H gas as a byproduct of fermentation. Sexually transmitted. Feeds on vaginal lining.
Parabasalids.
Autotrophic, but some are heterotrophic or mixotrophic. Flagellates, euglenids( characterized by an anterior pocket from which 1 or 2 flagella emerge) and kinetoplastids- single large mitochondria associated with the organelle, kinetoplast. Bait and switch tactic against immune system
Euglenozoa.
Move and feed by cilia. Asexual but use conjugation for genetic diversity
Ciliates.
