In this article we will discuss about the general features and phylogenetic relationships of euglenophyta. General Features of Euglenophyta: The Euglenophyta represent mostly unicellular naked motile individuals which usually occur in fresh-water. Some species form dendroid colony. The thallus possesses a definite nucleus and the grass-green colour is due to the presence of chlorophyll localized in chromatophores. Few species lack [...]
