Protozoans
2
Protozoan Groups Ciliates Amebas Apicomplexans Flagellates
3
Newly Revised Protozoan Taxonomy Clade Viridiplantae –Phylum Chlorophyta algae with chlorophyll –Phylum Euglenozoa euglenoidea kinetoplasta Clade Retortamonada –no mitochondria Clade or Superphylum Alveolata –Phylum Apicomplexa –Phylum Ciliophora –Phylum Dinoflagellata Amebas
4
Basis of Taxonomy Morphological traits –Flagella –Cilia –Pseudopodia –Shells (tests) Reproductive modes –Sexual –Asexual –Spore formation Distinct reproductive cell forms –Cyst formation Characteristic organelles –Apical complex –Kinetoplast –mitochondria –plastids Trophism –Heterotrophic –Autotrophic Molecular –DNA sequences –gene sets
5
Symbiotic Relationships Host Symbiont Relationship –Parasitism –Commensalism –Mutualism
6
Flagella & Cilia Axoneme Kinetosome
7

8
Pseudopodial Movement
9
Amoeba Amoeboid movement –Pseudopodial extension Phagocytosis –Engulfment of large particles
10
Contractile Vacuoles Osmotic regulation –Remove excess metabolic H 2 O, and HCO 3 –Remove H 2 O that enters by osmosis
11
Feeding
12
Examples of Binary Fission – Asexual Reproduction
13
Sexual Reproduction Conjugation –Meiotic nuclear division –Transfer of portion of genome between partners Sporogomy –Formation of sporozoites –Formation of gametocytes from sporozoites –Fusion of gametocytes to form new generation of sporozoite –Gametocytes and sporozoites are present in separate hosts
14
Cyst Formation
15
Euglenozoa A phytoflagellate –Autotrophic –Opportunistic heterotroph
16
Free Living Flagellates Pandorina colony
17
Colonial Flagellates Volvox colony
18
Cell Specialization in the Colonial Volvacae
19
Examples of Ameba Body Forms
20
Naegleria fowleri
21
Foraminiferan Tests
22
Radiolarian Undergoing Binary Fission
23
Dinoflagellates
24
Flagellates Parasitic examples Cyst formers
25
Intracellular Parasitic Flagellates
26
Parasitic Kinetoplastids Phylum Euglenozoa –Subphylum Kinetoplasta Class Trypanosomatidea –Trypanosoma spp –Leishmania spp
27
Trypanosomiasis African sleeping sickness – Eastern hemisphere –Trypanosoma brucei –Vector – Tsetse Fly - Glossina spp Immages from links at http://www.biosci.ohio-state.edu/~parasite
28
Trypanosomiasis Chaga’s disease – Western hemisphere –Trypanosoma cruzi –Vector – assassin bug – Rhodnius spp, Panstrongylus spp and Triatoma spp
29
Life Cycle of Trypanosoma http://www.genomics.liv.ac.uk/tryps/trypsmovie.html
30
Leishmaniasis Leishmania spp Vector – sandfly – OW Phlebotomus spp, NW Lutzomyia, Brumptomyia Similar protozoan to Trypanosoma sp Cutaneous and visceral forms of disease
31
Life Cycle of Leishmania
32
Taxonomy of Apicomplexans Phylum Apicomplexa –Class Coccidiea Plasmodium spp, Toxoplasma spp Life cycle with multiple hosts –Class Gregarinea Gregarines – invertebrate parasites Single host life cycles
33
Apical Organelles of the Apicomplexans
34
Life Cycle of Plasmodium vivax Anopheles spp
35
Phylum Ciliophora Tetrahymena Stentor Vorticella
36
A Ciliate – Parmecium sp
37
Reproduction in Ciliates Conjugation Fission
38
