Eogyrea, formerly described as clade L, is a class of marine heterotrophic single-celled stramenopiles. It contains several clades known as MAST (MArine STramenopiles), discovered through sequencing of environmental DNA. [3] Among these, MAST-6 is the only one containing formally described species, distributed in three genera: Pseudophyllomitus , home to four species, [4] [5] and the monotypic genera Mastreximonas and Vomastramonas .
