Helkesida (formerly known as Sainouroidea)[1] is a group of microscopic protists belonging to the supergroup Rhizaria, both discovered through molecular phylogenetic analyses. It contains amoeboid flagellates with two flagella. They are either free-living, mostly on fecal matter, or live inside the gut of animals. Among these amoebae, one lineage has independently evolved aggregative multicellularity similarly to slime moulds.[2]
Biology
The organisms classified as Helkesida commonly have a gliding motility in which the cells glide on their posterior flagellum. They are ancestrally amoeboid bi-flagellates without scales or theca.[3] Unlike most Cercozoa which have tubular mitochondrial cristae, they can also present flat cristae or discoid cristae. They are the only group within Rhizaria that present discoid mitochondrial cristae.[4]
These organisms have an amorphous apical centrosome attached to the nucleus by a rhizoplast. The kinetid arises from 2–4 very short centrioles with dense fibrous roots that attach them to each other and to the nucleus. Their anterior flagellum is reduced to a stub without its 9+2 axoneme. The centrosome also generates numerous microtubules in larger cells. The Golgi apparatus is seen attached to the nuclear envelope and the anterior rhizoplast. They have a microbody attached to the posterior end of the nucleus.[5]
One helkesid genus, Guttulinopsis, represents an independent lineage in which aggregative multicellularity has evolved to generate "fungi-like" fruiting bodies called sorocarps, similarly to slime moulds such as Dictyostelium.[4]
Ecology
The helkesid amoebae are bacterivores that can be free-living, mostly associated to fecal environments, or endozoic, associated to animals.[6] They thrive in aerobic conditions and the microaerophilic gut environment of animals. Rosculus can thrive in anaerobic culture. It is unknown if their preferred habitat is free-living or endozoic.[2]
Some host species can harbor different helkesid genera and species. One animal can be infected by multiple species simultaneously, and one species can also infect different animal hosts. More sampling of hosts, amoebae and molecular data is needed to better understand the life history and ecology of these protists.[2]
Evolution and systematics
History
Helkesida is a group initially named Sainouroidea. It was discovered in 2009 as a highly divergent clade within Cercozoa through phylogenetic analyses that used the sequencing of 18S ribosomal RNA from Cholamonas cytrodiopsidis, Sainouron acronematica and Helkesimastix marina. It is a molecularly diverse clade that branches within a group of ancestrally amoeboid bi-flagellates that usually lack an outer cell coat, known as Monadofilosa.[5] A 2016 study revealed a previously unknown wide diversity of Sainouroidea in fecal environments. Previous environmental samplings excluded sequences from Sainouroidea due to their highly divergent 18S rDNA sequences.[6] A 2018 study described several new genera and species.[2]
The initial name for this group, Sainouroidea, had the -oidea suffix for superfamilies, but it was not assigned to any existing classes or orders due to the uncertainty of its phylogenetic position.[5] In a 2018 revision, the class Helkesea and order Helkesida were created as a substitute for this name. Sainouroidea was then modified to only include one of the three helkesid families, Sainouridae. A second superfamily, Helkesimastigoidea, was created to host the remaining two families, Helkesimastigidae and Guttulinopsidae.[1]
Classification
Currently, Helkesida contains 24 species distributed in 9 genera, 3 families[3] and 2 superfamilies.[1] Additionally, many OTUs found through environmental sequencing may represent undescribed clades.[4][6]
