Dinema, synonym Dinematomonas,[2] is a genus of flagellated algae in the phylum Euglenozoa.[1]
Description
Like other members of the family Anisonemidae, Dinema consists of single-celled organisms with a larger posterior flagellum by means of which they are able to glide. They are phagotrophic, meaning that they feed by engulfing particles of food, and are non-photosynthetic.[3]
Taxonomy
The algal genus Dinema was established by Perty in 1852. It is an illegitimate name under the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants.[1] The genus name was first published in 1826 for a genus of orchids.[4] In spite of this, it was accepted by AlgaeBase (As of May 2023).[1] Other sources use the genus name Dinematomonas P.C.Silva.[2] Dinema is an acceptable name under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature.[3]
Dinema is probably paraphyletic with respect to Anisonema.[3]
Species
(As of May 2023), AlgaeBase accepted six species:[5]
- Dinema australiense Mikhailov
- Dinema dimorphum (Skuja) Schroeckh, W.J.Lee & D.J.Patterson
- Dinema inaequale J.Larsen & D.J.Patterson
- Dinema maculatum
- Dinema platysomum (Skuja) W.J.Lee & D.J.Patterson
- Dinema validum J.Larsen & D.J.Patterson
