Euglena gracilis es un flagelado euglenido unicelular ampliamente estudiado que se encuentra en entornos de agua dulce de todo el mundo. Es mixotrófico, capaz tanto de fotosíntesis en presencia de luz como de alimentación heterótrofa en oscuridad, lo que lo hace altamente adaptable a condiciones de luz variables. Es uno de los organismos modelo más utilizados en investigación de biología celular y biotecnología.
