title: Cultivation of <i>Ancyromonas melba</i>, and Reclassification as the Type Species of <i>Divimonas</i> gen. nov., a Phylogenetically Important Ancyromonad Lineage
abstract: Ancyromonadida is a taxon of small heterotrophic flagellates occupying an unresolved but deep-branching position in the eukaryotic tree of life, thus suspected to be important to studies of early eukaryotic evolutionary relationships and the characteristics of the last eukaryotic common ancestor. Sampling and cultivation of the full diversity of ancyromonad species are therefore areas of considerable interest. Ancyromonas melba is a species originally described from hypersaline material for whic
