INTRODUCTION TO THE METAMONADA

Metamonada (me-ta-mo-NA-da) is made from two Latin roots that mean change (meta); and unit (monus). The reference is to the variation in form that some cells can exhibit.

The metamonads occupy a large group of multiflagellated cells which are parasites or commensals of the guts of insects. Their flagella occur in groups of four, usually with 3 directed anteriorly and the fourth directed posteriorly (recurrent). The metamonads are made of 2 major groups. The trimastigids, represented by Trimastix (Figure A), have only one set of flagella while the oxymonads have multiple sets of flagella and most have an anterior proboscis (Figure B). Both groups have a longitudinal cable made of the microtubular flagellar roots woven into an elongate axostyle.
