Gromia sphaerica is a large spherical testate amoeba, a single-celled eukaryotic organism and the largest of its genus, Gromia. The genus itself contains about 13 known species, 3 of which were discovered as late as 2005. [ 1 ]
Thecamoeba homeri is a species of amoeba belonging to the genus Thecamoeba, characterized by a central ovoid cell nucleus and prominent dorsal folds that run longitudinally across each cell. [3] In particular, T. homeri is unique due to exhibiting 'doughnut behavior'.
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. During locomotion, the endoplasm flows forwards and the ...

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.
