Una interpretación moderna no jerárquica de la filogenia de los eucariotas, incluidos los protistas (la línea gris sin etiquetar junto a Sar representa Telonemia ).

Un protista ( / ˈ p r t ɪ s t / ) es cualquier organismo eucariota (uno con células que contienen un núcleo) que no es un animal , una planta o un hongo . Los protistas no forman un grupo natural, o clado , ya que excluyen a ciertos eucariotas con los que comparten un ancestro común; [ a ] ​​pero, al igual que las algas o los invertebrados , la agrupación se usa por conveniencia. En algunos sistemas de clasificación biológica , como el popular esquema de cinco reinos propuesto por Robert Whittaker en 1969, los protistas conforman un reino llamado Protista , compuesto por "organismos que son unicelulares o unicelulares-coloniales y que no forman tejidos ". [ 1 ] [ b ] En el siglo XXI, la clasificación cambió hacia un sistema de dos reinos de protistas: Chromista (que contiene los grupos cromalveolados , rizarios y otros) y Protozoa (que contiene excavados y todos los protistas más estrechamente relacionados con animales y hongos). [ 2 ]

Los siguientes grupos contienen protistas. El clado Opisthokonta también incluye a los animales y los hongos, y Archaeplastida también a las plantas.

Amorfea

El supergrupo Amorphea contiene organismos heterótrofos muy diversos, desde hongos y animales macroscópicos hasta coanoflagelados unicelulares y amebas clásicas . Con frecuencia presentan la capacidad de producir células multinucleadas, un rasgo considerado ancestral de Amorphea. También son capaces de producir pseudópodos , al igual que el clado CRuMs , estrechamente relacionado , formando el clado Podiata . [ 3 ]

Amorphea se divide en dos clados: Amoebozoa , que contiene amebas y mohos mucilaginosos bien conocidos, y Obazoa , que contiene animales, hongos y sus parientes más cercanos. La relación entre estos dos clados se denominó inicialmente "Unikonta", debido a una hipótesis que planteaba que su ancestro común era un unikonte, es decir, un eucariota con un solo flagelo. [ 4 ] Sin embargo, esta hipótesis fue refutada, ya que existen amorpheos bikontos (por ejemplo, Breviata anathema ) y es probable que tener un solo flagelo no sea un rasgo ancestral. [ 5 ] [ 6 ]

Obazoa

El clado Obazoa contiene dos pequeños grupos de flagelados, los breviados y los apusomónadas , y el gran clado Opisthokonta , que contiene animales, hongos y sus parientes protistas más cercanos. [ 10 ] Bajo el sistema Cavalier-Smith, los breviados y los apusomónadas eran dos clases que componían el filo Apusozoa , [ 11 ] pero este taxón es parafilético, ya que los apusomónadas están más estrechamente relacionados con los opistocontos. [ 7 ] La taxonomía de los apusomónadas se amplió en un estudio filogenético de 2022 que introdujo muchos géneros nuevos. [ 12 ]

Opistokonta

Los opistocontos se dividen en dos ramas: Holozoa (relacionados con los animales), que incluye a los ictiosporidios , pluriformes , filastereos y coanoflagelados ; y Nucletmycea u Holomycota (relacionados con los hongos), que incluye a los nucleidos y opistosporidios . Estos grupos, excepto los opistosporidios, se clasificaban como clases diferentes dentro del filo parafilético Choanozoa en el sistema de Cavalier-Smith, ahora obsoleto. En cambio, Choanozoa es el nombre que se usa para el clado que incluye a los coanoflagelados y a los animales. Los opistosporidios (afélidos, rozelidos y microsporidios) a menudo se estudian como protistas, pero también son considerados hongos por protistólogos [ 10 ] y micólogos por igual. [ 13 ] Tanto Holozoa como Nucletmycea han sido propuestos una vez como superreinos por un grupo de micólogos que clasificaron a los nucleidos y los hongos como reinos, pero sin ninguna mención de los reinos holozoos. [ 14 ]

Amebozoa

El filo Amoebozoa contiene alrededor de 2400 especies [ 26 ] de protistas principalmente ameboides. [ 10 ] Incluye una gran parte de los Sarcodina tradicionales, el taxón que une a todas las amebas. En particular, agrupa a las amebas lobosas desnudas y testadas (las Lobosa tradicionales ), así como a las arqueamoebas y los eumicetozoos (mohos mucilaginosos), y algunos flagelados. [ 27 ] Después de las revisiones generales de 2019 publicadas por la Sociedad Internacional de Protistólogos (ISOP), [ 10 ] ha habido revisiones específicas a la clasificación de los eumicetozoos [ 28 ] y las amebas testadas.

Cloroplastida

Pancryptista

El filo Cryptista contiene flagelados unicelulares heterótrofos y fotosintéticos. Su clasificación ha sufrido muchos cambios a lo largo de los años, y coexisten varios sistemas y nomenclaturas conflictivos. Fue descrito por Thomas Cavalier-Smith en 1989 para unir dos grupos distintos de flagelados: las criptomónadas fotosintéticas y las goniomónadas heterótrofas (respectivamente las dos clases Cryptomonadea y Cyathomonadea). El nombre Cryptista pretendía ser un sinónimo de Cryptophyta, [ 68 ] el filo de algas descrito por el mismo autor en años anteriores. [ 69 ] En 2004, modificó la clasificación de Cryptista para añadir dos subfilos: Cryptomonada, que contiene las clases mencionadas anteriormente (renombradas como Cryptophyceae y Goniomonadea respectivamente), y Leucocrypta, que contiene los katablepharids heterótrofos . [ 70 ] Al año siguiente, un grupo separado de autores propuso una clasificación superior diferente para los katablepharids como un filo Kathablepharida o Filo Katablepharidophyta, relacionado con pero independiente del filo Cryptophyta, sin mencionar a Cryptista. [ 71 ] Entre 2013 y 2015, Cavalier-Smith actualizó la clasificación una vez más al describir tres nuevos subfilos: Rollomonadia, que contiene los subfilos anteriores reducidos a superclases; Palpitia, que contiene el flagelado Palpitomonas bilix ; [ 72 ] y Corbihelia, que contiene picozoos , telonémidos y algunas especies de heliozoos ( Heliomorpha y Microheliella ). [ 73 ] Corbihelia no llegó a un consenso: análisis y revisiones posteriores separaron a los telonémidos y picozoos como sus propios clados, y colocaron a Heliomorpha en Cercozoa . [ 10 ] Sin embargo, la adición de Palpitomonas y la monofilia de Rollomonadia han sido respaldadas en otros análisis. [ 66 ]

Cryptista fue redefinido en la revisión ISOP de 2019 como el clado que contiene Palpitomonas , katablepharids, goniomonads y cryptomonads. Sin embargo, esta revisión introdujo otro sistema de clasificación que es contradictorio con los anteriores. Propusieron una sola clase Cryptophyceae que unía cryptomonads, goniomonads y katablepharids, y trataron a cryptomonads como un solo orden Cryptomonadales, [ 10 ] aunque esto no sigue el consenso científico: hay más órdenes de cryptomonads (por ejemplo, Pyrenomonadales , Tetragonidiales ) y el nombre Cryptophyceae ya se usaba para taxones que excluían a katablepharids [ 74 ] y a menudo también excluían a goniomonads. [ 73 ] No ha habido una nueva revisión desde entonces.

A diferencia de Heliomorpha , el género Microheliella fue secuenciado genéticamente y sus afinidades se han resuelto. En 2022, se propuso como el grupo hermano de Cryptista, en un clado conocido como Pancryptista . [ 67 ]

Bigira

Bigyra se propuso inicialmente como un filo de protistas heterótrofos estrechamente relacionados con los heterocontos fotosintéticos ( Ochrophyta ). Contenía tres subfilos: Pseudofungi (oomicetos e hifocítridos), Bigyromonada (biflagelados de vida libre) y Opalinata (grandes simbiontes intestinales multiflagelados). El filo se propuso con una característica unificadora: la presencia de una zona de transición flagelar con doble hélice o anillos. Esta definición se modificó posteriormente para excluir tanto a Pseudofungi como a Bigyromonada, y se redujo a dos subfilos diferentes: Opalozoa (que incluye Opalinata y bicosoécidos ) y Sagenista . Antes de esto, Sagenista también era un filo que contenía bicosoécidos y laberíntulos , pero se redujo a solo laberíntulos y algunos flagelados. [ 86 ] [ 77 ]

La definición actual de Bigyra es parafilética según algunos análisis filogenéticos, con Sagenista más estrechamente relacionado con Gyrista. A pesar de su probable parafilia, la mayoría de los taxónomos continúan usándola, y fue reconocida en la revisión de 2019 por la ISOP, que prioriza los taxones monofiléticos. [ 10 ] [ 87 ] Su clasificación global fue revisada por última vez por Cavalier-Smith en 2013 y 2018, [ 88 ] [ 77 ] mientras que la clase específica Placididea fue revisada en 2021, con nuevos taxones descritos por Alexandra Rybarski y coautores, [ 89 ] y las clases Labyrinthulea y Opalinea fueron revisadas en profundidad en el Handbook of the protists de 2017.

Foraminíferos

Los foraminíferos , o foraminíferos, son un grupo diverso de amebas acuáticas unicelulares, que generalmente poseen una pared orgánica o calcárea, y que suman más de 6700 especies vivas y muchos taxones fósiles. [ 174 ] Originalmente fueron clasificados como un orden de protozoos (Foraminiferida) perteneciente a la ahora obsoleta Granoreticulosa, junto con otras amebas reticulosas. Posteriormente, la mayoría de los protozoólogos los separaron en su propio filo, aunque los micropaleontólogos los mantuvieron como una clase, [ 175 ] hasta que fueron ubicados como un subfilo del filo Retaria junto con los Radiolarios. [ 77 ] Se dividen en tres clases (o subclases, cuando se tratan globalmente como una clase): los monotalámicos parafiléticos , [ 176 ] que contienen amebas con paredes orgánicas de una sola cámara y algunas amebas desnudas (por ejemplo, los grandes xenofióforos ); y los grupos monofiléticos Globothalamea y Tubothalamea , que evolucionaron a partir de monotalámicos, cada uno con amebas con conchas multicamerales, orgánicas o calcáreas. [ 173 ] Se han propuesto algunos sistemas alternativos para dividir los foraminíferos en clases, [ 177 ] pero ninguno ha logrado consenso. Las relaciones de los monotalámicos siguen siendo objeto de estudio debido a la limitada cantidad de datos genéticos. [ 173 ]

La clasificación de los foraminíferos se compiló numerosas veces a lo largo del siglo XX, culminando en 1987 con el catálogo de géneros de foraminíferos publicado por los paleontólogos Alfred R. Loeblich Jr. y Helen Tappan . [ 178 ] Posteriormente, se han publicado catálogos individualmente para grupos separados de foraminíferos en función de su morfología y ecología. Dos clasificaciones para géneros de foraminíferos exclusivamente aglutinados (de pared orgánica) se publicaron en 2001 [ 175 ] y 2014, [ 179 ] y una clasificación para foraminíferos planctónicos se publicó en 2022.

Disparia

Disparia is a clade that unites several predatory protists, namely the provorans, hemimastigotes, and two mysterious genera Meteora and Solarion. It was described in 2025 through phylogenomic analyses that accompanied the discovery of Solarion.[202] Prior to these analyses, provorans, hemimastigotes and Meteora were considered 'orphan' taxa, with unstable phylogenetic positions. The first provoran, Ancoracysta twista, was briefly proposed to be related to Haptista.[203] However, in 2024 there was already evidence of a close affinity between Meteora, hemimastigotes, and provorans.[204] The phylum Caelestes, described in 2025, encompasses two monotypic genera of protists with a unique stalked extrusome used for immobilizing prey bacteria. Their morphology resembles that of celestial bodies, after which they are named. Only one of the genera, Solarion, is assigned to a family, and no classes or orders have been defined.[202] Hemimastigotes are a small group composed of ten species of heterotrophs with a pellicle and numerous flagella. First identified in 1988,[205] they remained an orphan group for decades due to the absence of genetic information, with taxonomists hypothesizing affinities to many different protists.[206] In 2018, two hemimastigotes were successfully sequenced and a phylogenomic analysis revealed their deep-branching placement near Diaphoretickes.[207] Between 2024 and 2025, a closer relationship with the clades Provora and Caelestes was resolved.[204][202] Provorans compose two ancient phyla of predatory microbes and a total of eight described species. They are small, fast-swimming predators capable of consuming larger prey, but are easily confused with other protists due to their unremarkable appearance; they required meticulous study to be recognized.[208][209][210]

Excavates

Malawimonadida

Metamonada

The metamonads were first described by Pierre-Paul Grassé in the first volume of Traité de Zoologie, published in 1952, as the superorder Metamonadina or Anaxostylaria. They were originally composed of zooflagellates with four or more flagella, known as polymastigotes and hypermastigotes (e.g., Trichomonas, Oxymonas).[213] These were later split into other groups such as the Parabasalia and Preaxostyla (over 260 and 140 species respectively),[214][215] regarded as individual phyla. After rRNA phylogenetic analyses demonstrated their relatedness, the concept of metamonads was reintroduced by Cavalier-Smith as a monophyletic phylum Metamonada that includes both groups, as well as the anaerobic Fornicata (e.g., the free-living Carpediemonas and the parasitic Giardia;[216][217] around 140 species).[214] In this system, Preaxostyla is known as subphylum Anaeromonada, and Fornicata and Parabasalia are two infraphyla that belong to the subphylum Trichozoa.[11] Still, some taxonomists retain the Parabasalia at a phylum level.[218]

The classifications of Preaxostyla and Fornicata were last revised separately in the 2017 Handbook of the protists[219][220][221] and the higher classification of Metamonada was revised by Cavalier-Smith in 2021.[11] The classification of Parabasalia was completely updated in 2024.[218] Two new smaller clades of metamonads have been described in addition: anaeramoebae[222] and the 'BaSk' clade, containing barthelonids and skoliomonads.[223] However, Parabasalia was treated as a separate phylum by the 2024 revision, instead of a member of phylum Metamonada.[218]

Heterolobosea

The phylum Heterolobosea contains around 170 species of amoebae, flagellates, and amoeboflagellates. It was initially established to unite two historically well-known amoeboid orders, Schizopyrenida (such as Naegleria fowleri, a human pathogen) and Acrasida (slime molds). Later, as more flagellates joined this grouping, the usage of Heterolobosea was split between two meanings: the more common usage applies to the entire clade,[10] while the usage by Cavalier-Smith and collaborators was restricted to a paraphyletic class of "traditional" heteroloboseans, with the name Percolozoa used for the phylum instead.[241][242] The first comprehensive phylogenomic study of Heterolobosea was published in 2025 by Tomáš Pánek and coauthors, resulting in its modern classification.[239]

Euglenozoa

The phylum Euglenozoa is home to at least 2,000 described species of single-celled flagellates of very dissimilar lifestyles. It was originally proposed to group the euglenids (such as the photosynthetic Euglena) and the kinetoplastids (like the pathogenic Trypanosoma), usually studied separatedly; eventually it included diplonemids and symbiontids as well.[247][248][249] Due to its share of photosynthetic species, traditionally regarded as algae, the phylum is also known as Euglenophyta by phycologists, and euglenids in particular were often studied as algae. Euglenids and kinetoplastids are the most diverse in terms of described species, although diplonemids may compose over 67,000 potential species.[249] The classification of euglenozoans was summarized by Cavalier-Smith in 2016.[248] A more phylogenetically precise revision of their classification was published in 2021 by Alexei Kostygov and coauthors,[249] with newer clades and genera described in the following years, particularly of euglenids. Still, one group of euglenids, the paraphyletic "ploeotids",[250] remains unresolved in the current classification, spread out across multiple clades.[251][252][253]

Telonemia

The phylum Telonemia (telonemids) contains a few species of flagellates found in ocean and fresh waters worldwide. It was originally proposed in 2006 for Telonema, a genus of previously uncertain affinity.[266] Under the Cavalier-Smith system, telonemids were initially classified as a class of Cryptista,[73] but later analyses consistently recovered it as a separate group.[18] Until 2019, only two species had been formally described, each belonging to a separate genus,[267] but environmental DNA sequencing suggested there were many more species not yet described.[268] Between 2022 and 2025, eight additional species were described along with three new genera, bringing the total number of species to ten.[269][270][271]

Notes

  1. The first eukaryotes were "neither plants, animals, nor fungi", hence as defined, the Protista would include the earliest common ancestor of all eukaryotes.
  2. In the original 4-kingdom model proposed in 1959, Protista included all unicellularmicroorganisms such as bacteria.
  3. The position of the genera Microcorycia, Parmulina, Penardochlamys and Zonomyxa, which were listed in 2002 under family Microcoryciidae, is not clear. They are placed here by morphological characters but this needs to be supported by molecular data.[10]
  4. 12345The orders Thecamoebida, Dactylopodida, Acanthopodida, Himatismenida and Pellitida were initially divided into families, but phylogenetic analyses haven't supported the monophyly of each family. For this reason, in recent classifications there is no family rank division within it.[30][10]
  5. The genus Pessonella could be a synonym of Vannella.[10]
  6. The 2019 revision by the ISOP ignores the grouping of some variosean genera into higher rank clades (orders and families) proposed in older studies, due to the weakly supported SSU rRNA phylogenetic analyses.[10]
  7. The picobiliphytes are phylogenetically closer to Rhodophyta and Rhodelphis than to other groups, and are therefore considered part of Archaeplastida.[51]
  8. The 2019 revision by the ISOP inaccurately stated that goniomonads are classified as "Cyathomonadacea Pringsheim 1944".[10] The name Cyathomonadacea does not exist; Pringsheim only described the family Cyathomonadaceae based on the genus Cyathomonas, and later the order Cyathomonadales and class Cyathomonadea were described, each by different authors. However, as pointed out in 1993 by Gianfranco Novarino and Ian Lucas, this genus was based on a species that actually belonged to Goniomonas; since then, taxonomists have prioritized higher taxa named after it (Goniomonadaceae, Goniomonadales/adida, Goniomonadea) instead.[74]
  9. The genus Tetragonidium is known only from one written diagnosis and some illustrations, and its affinities with cryptomonads are very uncertain.[74]
  10. Within the order Anoecida, the four families Anoecaceae, Caecitellaceae, Cafeteriaceae and Symbiomonadaceae were included by T. Cavalier-Smith in 2006. In a 2013 revision, he simplified the classification by transferring Symbiomonadaceae and Anoecaceae to Cafeteriaceae.[88] However, both of those families remain accepted by the scientific community as independent from Cafeteriaceae as of 2020.[93]
  11. O'Kelly placed the genera Antarctosaccion, Chrysomeris, Chrysonephos, Nematochrysis/Chrysowaernella, Phaeosaccion and Rhamnochrysis in the order Chrysomeridales nomen nudum in 1989,[109] and Cavalier-Smith placed it inside the class Chrysomeridophyceae (spelt originally as Chrysomerophycea) in 1995.[110] However, the class was proven to be polyphyletic. As a result, some of its genera (Nematochrysis/Chrysowaerella) were transferred to the class Chrysoparadoxophyceae, while others (Antarctosaccion and Phaeosaccion) were transferred to the class Phaeosacciophyceae. Due to a lack of molecular data, the placement of Chrysomeris, Chrysonephos and Rhamnochrysis remains unknown.[111]
  12. The position of Eustigmatophyceae is still unstable, with different phylogenetic methodologies showing affinities to either of the SI and SII clades.[113][114]
  13. 123456The taxonomic ranks above class level (phylum, subphylum, infraphylum, etc.) are unstable within the Alveolata, due to the many different existing classifications. For example, the phylum-level rank has been traditionally assigned to Perkinsozoa,[128] Dinoflagellata, Chromerida and Apicomplexa, all of which have been classified as phylum Myzozoa,[129] which in turn has been classified inside phylum Miozoa.[117] Treating the four myzozoan groups as separate phyla is generally accepted among phycologists,[130] while at the same time the rejection of higher taxonomic ranks due to being superfluous is prevalent among protistologists.[10]
  14. Apart from morphological descriptions, no molecular analysis has solidly affiliated Rastrimonas with the Perkinsozoa.[131]
  15. The genera Parallobiopsis, Ellobiocystis and Rhizellobiopsis are only provisionally placed among ellobiopsids.[142]
  16. Highly divergent 18S rRNA.[10] Since 2020 member of newly identified major apicomplexan subgroup Marosporida, putting together Aggregata octopianaFrenzel 1885, Merocystis kathaeDakin, 1911 (both Aggregatidae, originally coccidians), Rhytidocystis sp. 1 and Rhytidocystis sp. 2 Janouškovec et al. 2019 (RhytidocystidaeLevine, 1979, originally coccidians, Agamococcidiorida), and Margolisiella islandicaKristmundsson et al. 2011 (closely related to Rhytidocystidae)[147]
  17. This taxon is artificial; many of the families listed in it are not monophyletic and have little support from phylogenetic analyses.[10]
  18. There is only one molecular sequence from this genus, which causes long branches in gene phylogenies, and the node is unresolved.[10]
  19. According to Nakamura & Suzuki, the only extant (i.e. not extinct) orders of Polycystinea are Spumellaria, Nassellaria, Collodaria and Orodaria. Therefore, Entactinaria is considered an exclusively fossil group.[199]
  20. One 18S rRNA phylogenetic analysis suggests that the genus Opisthomitus is affiliated with the family Pyrsonymphidae.[219]
  21. Regarding the classification of Retortamonadida, there is a disconnect between the Cavalier-Smith system and the system described by different authors in the Handbook of the protists and other studies. The order Retortamonadida was originally defined as two genera: Chilomastix and Retortamonas. In 2013, Cavalier-Smith modified the retortamonads to only include Retortamonas, and describing a separate order Chilomastigida for Chilomastix only, placed among the early branching Carpediemonas-like organisms.[228] However, this has not yet been recognized by later studies from the other authors.[221][229][230]
  22. The family Orodruinidae is possibly polyphyletic, and its type genus Orodruina may belong to the order Neovahlkampfiida.[239]
  23. Probably a synonym of the zygomycete fungus Nephridiophaga.[10]
  24. May be the same genus as Belonocystis.[10]
