Presentation Transcript

  1. Protozoa Phyla

  2. List of Phyla • Amoeba-like organisms (e.g., Amoeba) • Phylum Euglenozoa • Subphylum Euglenida (e.g., Euglena) • Subphylum Kinetoplasta (e.g., Trypanosoma) • Phylum Chlorophyta (e.g., Volvox) • Phylum Apicomplexa (e.g., Plasmodium) • Phylum Ciliophora (e.g., Paramecium)

  3. General Characteristics • Single-celled or unicellular organisms; some live in colonies; • Size = microscopic (3 to 1,000 microns). • No germ layers, tissues, or organs; • However, specialized intracellular "organelles" are present

  4. General Characteristics • Locomotion by pseudopodia, flagella, or cilia. • Symmetry = all types (bilateral, radial, spherical, or asymmetrical) • Free living, commensal, parasitic, or mutualistic • Mostly naked, but few have simple protective exoskeletons (tests). Ex. = Arcella

  5. General Characteristics • Nutrition = autotrophic (holophytic), saprozoic, saprophytic, or holozoic. • Reproduction: asexual = longitudinal and transverse binary fission, budding, • Sexual = sporogony, and autogamy

  6. Amoeba-like organisms

  7. Amoeba-like organisms • Organisms move by pseudopodia, flagella, or a combination • Monomorphic nuclei • Genera • Amoeba- without a test, naked • Arcella- with a calcareous test

  12. Arcella Nucleus Top View

  13. Phylum Euglenozoa • Organisms move by one or two flagella • Monomorphic nuclei • Capable of photosynthesis; chloroplasts usually present

  14. Subphylum Euglenida • Plant like organisms • Solitary • Can photosynthesize

  15. Euglena

  16. Euglena Chloroplasts Contractile Vacuole Flagellum not visible Stigma

  17. Subphylum Kinetoplasta • Organisms are only heterotrophic • No chloroplasts present • all parasitic Red Blood Cells Trypanosoma smear – cause of sleeping sickness Organism

  18. Trypanasoma Trypanosoma organism Red Blood Cells

  19. Phylum Chlorophyta • Flagellated single or colonial organisms • Are autotrophic • Have chloroplasts with chlorophyll • Genetically different from Euglenozoa

  20. Volvox life cycle Figure 11.20

  21. Volvox Zygote Egg Mother Colony

  22. Daughter Colonies Mother Colony Nuclei of individual cells

  23. Phylum Apicomplexa • organisms do not have locomotor structures; • all species are parasitic • asexual reproduction involves schizogony Plasmodium smear – cause of Malaria

  24. Final Host Plasmodium – agent For malaria Vector

  25. Ring stage trophozoite merozoite Red blood cell Trophozooite

  26. Ring stage in red blood cell Ring stage – Early Trophozoite

  27. Schizont with merozoites in red blood cell Red blood cell Merozoites in the Schizont

  28. Female Male Gametocytes

  29. Phylum CiliophoraThe Ciliates • Organisms move by cilia • Usually two sizes of nuclei • Macronucleus and micronucleus • Reproduction usually by transverse binary fission • but sexual reproduction by conjugation

  30. Paramecium

  31. Binary Fission – Asexual Reproduction

  32. Conjugation – sexual reproduction

  33. Vorticella

  34. Stentor
