Hexamita inflata is a species of free-living diplomonad that was isolated for the first time from shallow water in a wetland in Řevnice, Czech Republic. This species is found in marine environments where the concentration of oxygen is low, such as sediments of ponds or the water column of marine basins.[2]
Morphology
The trophozoites are characterised for presenting two pairs of three anterior flagella and one recurrent flagellum that exists the cytosome.[2]
