Results 1. We sequencedSSU rDNA of Protoopalinaintestinalis, representativeof opalinids,andKarotomorpha,a proteromonaďdwith hithertono moleculardataavailable. Analyses of thesedataconfirmedcloseaffrnityof thetwo families andalsotheparaphylyof proteromonadids- the resultingtopologywas(Proteromonas+(Karotomopha+ Protoopalina)).Slopalinidsbelongedwithin stramenopilesin our analyses. 2. In ouranalyses,thegenusBlastocystis,geneticallyquite variable,formeda sistergroupof slopalinidswithin thegroupof Stramenopila. 3. We sequencesSSU rDNA of two Chilomastixisolates.The sequencesdifferedsubstantiallyin lengthandcomposition,but formeda monophylumin resultingphylogenetictrees.
