Highly flexible metabolism of the marine euglenozoan protist Diplonema papillatum

Abstract Background The phylum Euglenozoa is a group of flagellated protists comprising the diplonemids, euglenids, symbiontids, and kinetoplastids. The diplonemids are highly abundant and speciose, and recent tools have rendered the best studied representative, Diplonema papillatum, genetically tra...
