Scope note: Filo de flagelados unicelulares, del antiguo linaje EUCARIOTA, con taxonomía no clara. Han perdido la PARED CELULAR pero están recubiertos de una envoltura proteinacea flexible, la película, que permite a la célula cambiar de forma. Históricamente, algunos autores consideran que se trata de un orden de protozoos, mientras que otros los clasifican como ALGAS (algunos miembros poseen CLOROPLASTOS y otros no)

Scope note: A phylum of unicellular flagellates of ancient eukaryotic lineage with unclear taxonomy. They lack a CELL WALL but are covered by a proteinaceous flexible coat, the pellicle, that allows the cell to change shape. Historically some authorities considered them to be an order of protozoa and others classed them as ALGAE (some members have CHLOROPLASTS and some don't).
