This strange sorting of kDNA leads to an increase in difficulty when trying to create phylogenetic trees using kDNA.

is a microscopic, biflagellated, kidney-shaped, single celled organism with the largest cells being 8 μm in length and 5 μm wide. Some of the smaller organisms can be as little as 3 μm in length and 2 μm wide. The organisms are transparent, but due to their uptake of photosynthetic bacteria the often

The genus was originally described in 1831 by
Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg as having an ovoid body, a very short tail, transparent and able to show the colour of the food that it ingests. Ehrenberg also described the type species,
