    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 ...

  3. Symbiosis in Amoebozoa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbiosis_in_Amoebozoa

    Another unique example of symbiosis occurs in the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum. D. discoideum and other social amoeba differ from free living Acanthamoeba in that instead of encysting, they undergo a social cycle where individual D. discoideum cells aggregate together in a food scarce environment.

  4. Amoebozoa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amoebozoa

    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 ...

    Life cycle. Dictyostelium discoideum is a species of soil-dwelling amoeba belonging to the phylum Amoebozoa, infraphylum Mycetozoa.Commonly referred to as slime mold, D. discoideum is a eukaryote that transitions from a collection of unicellular amoebae into a multicellular slug and then into a fruiting body within its lifetime.

  7. Lycogala epidendrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lycogala_epidendrum

    Lycogala epidendrum, commonly known as wolf's milk or groening's slime, is a cosmopolitan species of myxogastrid amoeba which is often mistaken for a fungus. The aethalia, or fruiting bodies, occur either scattered or in groups on damp rotten wood, especially on large logs, from June to November. These aethalia are small, pink to brown cushion ...

  8. Tubulinea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubulinea

    This class was anticipated by some biologists such as Jahn, who grouped all amoebae with granular pseudopodia together, [1] but most split the lobose amoebae into testate Testacealobosia and naked Gymnamoebia.

  9. Difflugia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difflugia

    Difflugia is the largest genus of Arcellinida, one of several groups of Tubulinea within the eukaryote supergroup Amoebozoa. [1] Arcellinida species produce shells or tests from mineral particles or biogenic elements (e.g. diatom frustules) and are thus commonly referred to as testate amoebae or shelled amoebae.
