- Note
- The Stramenopiles (from Latin stramen ´straw´, and pilus ´hair´), also called Heterokonts (from Ancient Greek ἕτερος (heteros) ´different´, and κοντός (kontos) ´pole, flagellum´), are a clade of organisms distinguished by the presence of stiff tripartite external hairs. In most species, the hairs are attached to flagella, in some they are attached to other areas of the cellular surface, and in some they have been secondarily lost (in which case relatedness to stramenopile ancestors is evident from other shared cytological features or from genetic similarity). Stramenopiles represent one of the three major clades in the SAR supergroup, along with Alveolata and Rhizaria.
