Barthelonids represent a deep-branching Metamonad clade with mitochondrion-related organelles generating no ATP.

E. Yazaki, K. Kume, T. Shiratori, Y. Eglit, G. Tanifuji, R. Harada, A. G. B. Simpson, K.-i. Ishita, T. Hashimoto, Y. Inagaki

This study determines the phylogenetic position of barthelonids and reveals their mitochondrion-related organelles lack ATP-generating capacity.
