Reclinomonas is a monotypic genus of jakobid protozoans containing the single species Reclinomonas americana.[2]
This organism is a single cell up to 12 micrometers wide. It has two flagella. The cell is in a cup-like lorica which has a stem that attaches to a surface. When the cell reproduces, by undergoing binary fission, one of the two newly split cells produces a new lorica for itself.[2]
This protozoan can be found in freshwater.[2]
This species was the first jakobid to have its mitochondrial genome sequenced.[2] It contains 97 genes. 62 of them code for proteins.[3] Other jakobids have been sequenced since, and the data was similar.[2]
This protozoan feeds on bacteria. It has been described as an excavate.[4]
