The nitroid split from its ancestor the teproutine. It has specialized in consuming nitrogen. It has become immobile an absorbs nitrogen out of the ground as well as using its re-adapted flagellum to absorb it out of the air. Their cell walls have also become thicker to protect it from other microbes. They have also developed a new type of reproduction. They asexually produce airborne spores from the tips of their flagellum.

Living Relatives (click to show/hide)

These are randomly selected, and organized from lowest to highest shared taxon. (This may correspond to similarity more than actual relation)

None found. Note that this does not necessarily mean it has no living relatives at all, but that, assuming all taxonomy is filled in, its entire phylum is extinct; any relatives it does have likely do not resemble it.
