| Abstract: | We have sequenced the small-subunit ribosomal RNA gene of the amoebo-
flagellate protozoan Naegleria gruberi. Comparison of this sequence with
the rRNA sequences of other eukaryotes resulted in a phylogenetic tree that
supports the suggested polyphyletic origin of amoebas and suggests a
flagellate ancestry for Naegleria.
