Although environmental DNA surveys improve our understanding of biodiversity, interpretation of unidentified lineages is limited by the absence of associated morphological traits and living cultures. Unidentified lineages of marine stramenopiles are called “MAST clades”. Twenty‐five MAST clades have been recognized: MAST‐1 through MAST‐25; seven of these have been subsequently discarded because the sequences representing those clades were found to either (1) be chimeric or (2) affiliate within previously described taxonomic groups. Eighteen MAST clades remain without a cellular identity. Moreover, the discarded “MAST‐13” has been used in different studies to refer to two different environmental sequence clades. After establishing four cultures representing two different species of heterotrophic stramenopiles and then characterizing their morphology and molecular phylogenetic positions, we determined that the two different species represented the two different MAST‐13 clades: (1) a lorica‐bearingBicosoeca kenaiensisand (2) a microaerophilic flagellate previously named “Cafeteria marsupialis”. Both species were previously described with only light microscopy; no cultures, ultrastructural data or DNA sequences were available from these species prior to this study. The molecular phylogenetic position of three different “C. marsupialis” isolates was not closely related to the type species ofCafeteria; therefore, we established a new genus for these isolates,Cantinagen. nov.
