Andalucia is a genus of jakobids.[1]
Classification
The morphology of Andalucia broadly resembles that of other jakobids. Molecular data has not always been conclusive, but recent phylogenomic analyses indicate that Andalucia is a sister group to the other jakobids, or, in other words, more closely related to them than to the Heterolobosea or Euglenozoa (the other two groups in the Discoba).[2] The α-tubulin gene of Andalucia more closely resembles that of opisthokonts and diplomonads than its closer relatives, the apparent result of horizontal gene transfer.[3]
Species
As of 2015, the soil heterotroph A. godoyi is the only described species in the genus. The species Stygiella incarcerata, living in sulphide-rich marine intertidal ediments,[3] was known as Andalucia incarcerata from 2006, the year of this genus' creation, to 2015.
Analysis of DNA sequences from the environment suggests at least two additional species that have not been isolated or formally described.[3]
