Zooflagellate

Zooflagellates are single-celled eukaryotes with flagella (i.e., flagellates). They are heterotrophic flagellates, as opposed to phytoflagellates, which are photosynthetic.[1] The term "zooflagellate" is also used to refer to reproductive cells or zoospores belonging to multicellular organisms, such as fungi.[2]
