Clockwise from top right: Amoeba proteus, Actinophrys sol, Acanthamoeba sp., Nuclearia thermophila., Euglypha acanthophora, neutrophil ingesting bacteria. An amoeba (/ ə ˈ m iː b ə /; less commonly spelled ameba or amœba; pl.: amoebas (less commonly, amebas) or amoebae (amebae) / ə ˈ m iː b i /), [1] often called an amoeboid, is a type of cell or unicellular organism with the ability ...
The heterolobosean pathogen Naegleria fowleri can behave as an amoeba (center) or as a flagellate (right).. An amoeboflagellate (‹The template Plural abbr is being considered for merging.› pl. amoeboflagellates) is any eukaryotic organism capable of behaving as an amoeba and as a flagellate at some point during their life cycle.
An amoeba of the genus Mayorella (Amoebozoa, Discosea). Amoebozoa is a large and diverse group, but certain features are common to many of its members. The amoebozoan cell is typically divided into a granular central mass, called endoplasm, and a clear outer layer, called ectoplasm.
In Amoeba, the pseudopodia are approximately tubular, and rounded at the ends (lobose). The cell's overall shape may change rapidly as pseudopodia are extended and retracted into the cell body. An Amoeba may produce many pseudopodia at once, especially when freely floating. When crawling rapidly along a surface, the cell may take a roughly ...
Pelomyxa is a genus of giant flagellar amoebae, usually 500–800 μm but occasionally up to 5 mm in length, found in anaerobic or microaerobic bottom sediments of stagnant freshwater ponds or slow-moving streams. [1] The genus was created by R. Greeff, in 1874, with Pelomyxa palustris as its type species. [2]
Acanthamoeba is a genus of amoebae that are commonly recovered from soil, fresh water, and other habitats.The genus Acanthamoeba has two stages in its life cycle, the metabolically active trophozoite stage and a dormant, stress-resistant cyst stage.
Willaertia is a thermophilic amoeba and has the capacity to grow in high temperatures, up to 44º Celsius. [3] While it can be found in a variety of locations, typically it lives in thermal swimming pools. [1]
