Symbiontida
Postgaardia is a proposed basal clade of flagellate Euglenozoa, following Thomas Cavalier-Smith. As of April 2023, the Interim Register of Marine and Nonmarine Genera treats the group as a subphylum. A 2021 review of Euglenozoa places Cavalier-Smith's proposed members of Postgaardia in the class Symbiontida. As Euglenozoans may be basal eukaryotes, the Postgaardia may be key to studying the evolution of Eukaryotes, including the incorporation of eukaryotic traits such as the incorporation of alphaproteobacterial mitochondrial endosymbionts.
