Anaeromonadea, also known asPreaxostyla,[1][2] is a group ofexcavateprotists, comprising theoxymonads,Trimastix,[3] andParatrimastix.[4] This group is studied as a model system for reductive evolution ofmitochondria,[5] because it includes both organisms with anaerobic mitochondrion-like organelles (Trimastix[6] andParatrimastix[7]), and those that have completely lost theirmitochondria (oxymonadsMonocercomonoides,[8]Streblomastix, andBlattamonas[6]).
