Figure 1

A schematic tree showing phylogenetic relationships of gut protist families. The simplified tree was drawn based on their current molecular phylogeny [10–15]. The names of protist families are shown in bold and the genera examined for their Bacteroidales symbionts in this study and previously are listed in each family. The orders Cristamonadida, Trichonymphida, and Oxymonadida are indicated by vertical bars in green, red, and blue, respectively. The range of the phylum Parabasalia is also shown by a vertical bar. No stable association of Bacteroidales members was observed for protist genera in the orders Trichomonadida and Spirotrichonymphida.
