Euglena is a genus of single cell flagellate Eukaryotes. It is the best known and most widely studied member of the class Euglenoidea, a diverse group containing some 54 genus and at least 200 species. Euglena live in fresh and brackish water habitats such as ponds rich in organic matter. Some species can form green or red " blooms " in ponds or lakes. The single cells are biflagellate, with the flagella originating in a small reservoir at the anterior of the cell. The Euglena is unique in that it is both heterotrophic ( must consume food ) and autotrophic ( can make it's own food ). Chloroplasts within the Euglena trap sunlight that is used for photosynthesis, and can be seen as several rod like structures throughout the cell. Euglena is recommended for regulating bowel movements, improving energy levels, and supplementing those who have no time to prepare nutritious meals. As a component in cosmetics and beauty products, Euglena helps to make skin smoother, more elastic and radiant. Euglena species are parasites that may be a cause of serious blood and tissue diseases in humans. Euglena produces a neurotoxin named euglenophycin which can be deadly for fresh water fishes. It forms toxic algae blooms in fresh water which harm water habits.
