Abstract in Portuguese
Neste estudo foram isolados e caracterizados flagelados de 20 amostras de solo e água do Brasil classificados no gênero Euglena por parâmetros taxonômicos tradicionais, e distribuídos em 5 grupos de acordo com características morfológicas. Análises filogenéticas do gene SSUrDNA das 20 amostras resultou em 25 seqüências posicionadas nos grupos A2 e A3 do gênero Euglena definidos em estudos anteriores, separando as seqüências obtidas em 7 clados distintos, revelando uma maior diversidade que a obtida por parâmetros taxonômicos tradicionais. A fim de resolver os relacionamentos intra-específicos do grupo A3, realizamos uma análise filogenética restrita deste grupo, que apresentou árvores congruentes e subclados bem suportados. Representantes de cada espécie foram analisados por microscopia eletrônica de varredura, revelando dois padrões principais de estrias e poros da película. Os isolados caracterizados neste estudo são os primeiros do Brasil estabelecidos em cultura, validados por análises filogenéticas e morfologicamente caracterizados.

Abstract in English
In this study we isolated and characterized flagellates from 20 soil and water samples of Brazil, classified in the genus Euglena based on traditional taxonomic parameters and distributed in 5 groups according to morphological characteristics. Phylogenetic analyses of the SSUrDNA of the 20 samples resulted in 25 sequences that where positioned in previously defined groups A2 and A3 of the genus Euglena, separating the obtained sequences in 7 distinct clades, revealing a larger diversity than defined by traditional taxonomic parameters. To better resolve the intra-specific relationships of group A3, we conducted a phylogenetic analyses restricted to this group, generating congruent trees and well supported sub-clades. A representative of each species was selected and analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, revealing two major patterns of strip and pellicle pores. The isolates characterized in this study are the first in Brazil to be established in culture, validated by phylogenetic analyses and morphologically characterized.
