The opisthokonts (Greek: ὀπίσθιος (opísthios) = "rear, posterior" + κοντός (kontós) = "pole" i.e. "flagellum") are a broad group o eukaryotes, includin baith the ainimal an fungus kingdoms,[5] thegither wi the eukaryotic microorganisms that are whiles grouped in the paraphyletic phylum Choanozoa (conventionally assigned tae the protist 'kinrick').[6]
