Gyrista is a phylum of heterokont protists containing three diverse groups: the mostly photosynthetic Ochrophyta, the parasitic Pseudofungi, and the recently described group of nanoflagellates known as Bigyromonada.[2] Members of this phylum are characterized by the presence of a helix or a double helix/ring system in the ciliary transition region.[1]
