Amoebozoa is a major taxonomic group containing about 2,400 described species of amoeboid protists, [8] often possessing blunt, fingerlike, lobose pseudopods and tubular mitochondrial cristae. [ 7 ] [ 9 ] In traditional classification schemes, Amoebozoa is usually ranked as a phylum within either the kingdom Protista [ 10 ] or the kingdom ...
The Amoebidae are a family of Amoebozoa, [1] including naked amoebae that produce multiple pseudopodia of indeterminate length. These are roughly cylindrical with granular endoplasm and no subpseudopodia, as found in other members of the class Tubulinea. During locomotion one pseudopod typically becomes dominant and the others are retracted as ...
The Tubulinea are a major grouping of Amoebozoa, including most of the more familiar amoebae genera like Amoeba, Arcella, Difflugia and Hartmannella. Characteristics
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 ...
Amoebozoa contains several groups of amoeboflagellates with one [7] or two flagella [8] and lobose pseudopods, which are rounder and more blunt-ended than filopodia. Among them are the myxogastrids , a group of slime molds that behave as amoeboflagellates in various stages of their life cycle. [ 9 ]
Amorphea [1] is a taxonomic supergroup that includes the basal Amoebozoa and Obazoa.That latter contains the Opisthokonta, which includes the Fungi, Animals and the Choanomonada, or Choanoflagellates.
Discosea is a class of Amoebozoa, consisting of naked amoebae with a flattened, discoid body shape. [1] Members of the group do not produce tubular or subcylindrical pseudopodia, like amoebae of the class Tubulinea. When a discosean is in motion, a transparent layer called hyaloplasm forms at the leading edge of the cell (see lamellipodium). In ...
