Phylum of eukaryotic organisms
Gyrista is a phylum of heterokont protists containing three diverse groups: the mostly photosynthetic Ochrophyta , the parasitic Pseudofungi , and the recently described group of nanoflagellates known as Bigyromonada .[ 2] Members of this phylum are characterized by the presence of a helix or a double helix/ring system in the ciliary transition region .[ 1]
Systematics
Taxonomic history
Gyrista was first described in 1998 by protistologist Thomas Cavalier-Smith in his work A revised six-kingdom system of life , originally as a superphylum containing two phyla : Ochrophyta , the heterokont algae ; and Bigyra , which then contained the pseudofungi and bigyromonads together with the opalines .[ 1] Later, the name Bigyra was modified to contain opalines, bicosoecids and labyrinthulomycetes , while the Ochrophyta, Pseudofungi and Bigyromonada remained as groups within Gyrista.[ 2]
Molecular phylogenetics
Gyrista was seen in 2017 as the sister group to phylum Bigyra , which contains the Sagenista and Opalozoa . Together, Gyrista and Bigyra form the superphylum Stramenopiles or Heterokonta .[ 2] [ 4]
A phylogenetic analysis in 2022 recovered a monophyletic Bigyromonada sister to Pseudofungi . The "Bigyra" is paraphyletic :[ 5]
Classification
The 2018 revised taxonomy of Gyrista is the following,[ 2] with the inclusion of new ochrophyte classes described in 2020[ 6] and 2021:[ 7]
