Streblomastix strix Kofoid & Swezy 1920
Species
S. strix

A symbiotic eukaryote that lives in the hindgut of termites, Streblomastix is a protist associated with a community of ectosymbiotic bacteria.

Motility

Streblomastix moves by beating its anterior flagella.

Morphology

These protists measure around 100 micrometers in length. They completely lack mitochondria.
