The Tubulinea are a major grouping of Amoebozoa, including most of the more familiar amoebae genera like Amoeba, Arcella, Difflugia and Hartmannella. Characteristics
Naegleria fowleri, also known as the brain-eating amoeba, is a species of the genus Naegleria. It belongs to the phylum Percolozoa and is classified as an amoeboflagellate excavate , [ 1 ] an organism capable of behaving as both an amoeba and a flagellate .
Tupanvirus strains have been discussed to comprise a sister group of mimiviruses. [ 4 ] Furthermore, it has been proposed either to extend Mimiviridae by an additional tentative group III (subfamily Mesomimivirinae ) or to classify this group as a sister family Mesomimiviridae instead, [ 19 ] comprising legacy OLPG (Organic Lake Phycodna Group).
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 most important genera are Amoeba and Chaos, which are set apart from the others by longitudinal ridges. The best known of the species in this family is Amoeba proteus , commonly used in classrooms to demonstrate movement by pseudopodia.
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 ...
Historically it was thought that Acrasis was a sister group to Dictyostilids, other slime mold amoebas that belong to Amoebazoa, due to how they both aggregate in order to form a fruiting body. However, in their amoeboid form it was realized they were fundamentally different and molecular phylogenetic studies placed Acrasis in Heterolobosea ...
The Amoeba Boys (voiced by Chuck McCann in the series and What a Cartoon!, Lou Romano in Whoopass Stew) are a trio of mutant amoebas who aspire to be respected villains, but are unintelligent and incompetent. Though largely harmless, their actions have caused danger. Bossman: The Amoeba Boys' leader. In the pilot, he is depicted with a cigar in ...
