Trichoplax feeding on Rhodamonas salina microalgae.
, 2015 Algae appear as tiny red specks on the substrate due to their content of fluorescent phycoerythrin. At 8 to 24 sec groups of algae under the paused Trichoplax precipitously release their contents apparent as contiguous domains of bright red phycoerythrin.

Identificación y revisión bibliográfica del antecesor de Eumetazoa: "Trichoplax adhaerens" [PDF]
, 2020 The phylum placozoa is a group of primitive animals with great evolutionary and pharmacological interest. It is represented by a few genus, when Trichoplax and its representative species T. adhaerens are most studied.

BMC Genomics, 2012 Background MicroRNAs play a vital role in the regulation of gene expression and have been identified in every animal with a sequenced genome examined thus far, except for the placozoan Trichoplax. The genomic repertoires of metazoan microRNAs have become

Support for a clade of Placozoa and Cnidaria in genes with minimal compositional bias
eLife, 2018 The phylogenetic placement of the morphologically simple placozoans is crucial to understanding the evolution of complex animal traits. Here, we examine the influence of adding new genomes from placozoans to a large dataset designed to study the deepest ...

Insights into the evolution of digestive systems from studies of Trichoplax adhaerens [PDF]
Cell and Tissue Research, 2019 Trichoplax, a member of the phylum Placozoa, is a tiny ciliated marine animal that glides on surfaces feeding on algae and cyanobacteria. It stands out from other animals in that it lacks an internal digestive system and, instead, digests food trapped under its lower surface.

Comparative genomics and the nature of placozoan species. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2018 Placozoans are a phylum of nonbilaterian marine animals currently represented by a single described species, Trichoplax adhaerens, Schulze 1883. Placozoans arguably show the simplest animal morphology, which is identical among isolates collected ...

Beyond the Secretory Pathway: New Insights Into Protein Release
Traffic, Volume 26, Issue 10-12, October/December 2025.While proteins bearing N‐terminal signal or leader sequences are secreted via the ER‐Golgi‐plasma membrane axis of the conventional secretion pathway, many cytosolic proteins lacking signaling sequence can be secreted via poorly defined mechanisms termed Unconventional Protein Secretion (UcPS).

Global diversity of the Placozoa.
PLoS ONE, 2013 The enigmatic animal phylum Placozoa holds a key position in the metazoan Tree of Life. A simple bauplan makes it appear to be the most basal metazoan known and genetic evidence also points to a position close to the last common metazoan ancestor ...

Concatenated analysis sheds light on early metazoan evolution and fuels a modern "urmetazoon" hypothesis. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2009 For more than a century, the origin of metazoan animals has been debated. One aspect of this debate has been centered on what the hypothetical "urmetazoon" bauplan might have been.

Invertebrate Bile Acid‐Sensitive Ion Channels and Their Emergence in Bilateria
The FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 8, 30 April 2025.This graphical abstract presents the evolutionary distribution and functional characteristics of bile acid‐sensing ion channels (BASICs) across bilaterians. A phylogenetic tree illustrates the presence of BASICs in diverse groups, extending beyond previously established mammalian findings.
