New #ISEPpapers! Transcriptome data sets of free-living #diplomonads, Trepomonas sp. and Hexamita sp. https://journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.1128/mra.00506-23

"Most species belonging to the diplomonad genera, #Trepomonas and #Hexamita, are considered to have secondarily adapted to free-living lifestyles from the parasitic ancestor."

#Metamonada #Parabasalia

Seven new species described, three new genera, two new families and a new order (Pimpavickida). The latter appears to be a new deep-branching lineage with no affinity to any currently known group of Parabasalia.
