Spliced leaders have been seen in trypanosomatids, Euglena, flatworms, Caenorhabditis.
2.
In 1995 scientists discovered the first non-Euglena twintron in cryptomonad alga Pyrenomonas salina.
3.
"Euglena " reproduce asexually through posterior, until the two halves are entirely separated.
4.
For example, flagellate protozoans of the genus " Euglena " move towards a light source.
5.
The species " Euglena gracilis " has been used extensively in the laboratory as a model organism.
6.
The eyespot apparatus of " Euglena " comprises the paraflagellar body connecting the eyespot to the flagellum.
7.
Like other euglenoids, " Euglena " possess a red eyespot, an organelle composed of carotenoid pigment granules.
8.
Since the original discovery, there have been other reports of Group III twintrons and GroupII / III twintrons in Euglena gracilis chloroplast.
9.
In 1936 he published a paper showing that the photosynthetic flagellate Euglena had a nutritional requirement for a substance extracted from animal tissue.
10.
This dual-beam approach is suitable to trap and guide swimming micro-organisms such as Euglena without inducing any optical damage.
