<P> As with other Euglenozoa , the primitive mode of nutrition is phagocytosis . Prey such as bacteria and smaller flagellates are ingested through a cytostome , supported by microtubules . These are often packed together to form two or more rods , which function in ingestion , and in Entosiphon form an extendable siphon . Most phagotrophic euglenids have two flagella , one leading and one trailing . The latter is used for gliding along the substrate . In some , such as Peranema , the leading flagellum is rigid and beats only at its tip . </P>
