Euglena deses es un flagelado euglenofito fotosintético de la familia Euglenaceae, distinguido por su cuerpo celular alargado a cilíndrico que experimenta pronunciados movimientos euglenoides (metabolia). Habita hábitats de agua dulce ricos en nutrientes, incluyendo charcos, zanjas y la superficie de suelos húmedos, frecuentemente formando biopelículas verdes. Su único flagelo emergente lo propulsa hacia la luz para optimizar la fotosíntesis.
