Ceratiomyxa is being phylogenetically investigated right now and yes I think that is a possibility, but I'm not sure how it's going to shake out

Ceratiomyxa is actually (inexplicably) not included in the Myxomycetes despite the two being a clade & despite the two being the only plasmodial slime mold branches in existence. Hopefully Ceratiomyxa will simply be added to Myxomycetes but they will probably invent an unnecessary new name instead

Does the protrusive phagocytic structure operate by actin alone or do microtubules extend into it?

Hello! This is a minor issue but as you are likely aware, protists are not a lineage (& neither are algae). Many people think they are, however. There are 6 very nice clades that contain multicellular life & I think it would be great if we used them instead of "plants, animals, fungi, & protists."

Complexity arises from cooperation. Trees, mushrooms, & people evolved when many distantly related creatures became physically, metabolically, & genetically entwined. All eukaryotes are dependent on symbiosis to protect their bodies & to process oxygen, food, & sunlight
