Oxymonad

Group of flagellated protozoa

The Oxymonads are a group of flagellated protists found exclusively in the intestines of animals, mostly termites and other wood-eating insects. Along with the similar parabasalid flagellates, they harbor the symbiotic bacteria that are responsible for breaking down cellulose. There is no evidence for presence of mitochondria in oxymonads and three species have been shown to completely lack any molecular markers of mitochondria.
