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 ...
Amoeba is a genus of single-celled amoeboids in the family Amoebidae. [2] The type species of the genus is Amoeba proteus , a common freshwater organism, widely studied in classrooms and laboratories.
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 ...
Evosea is a strongly supported clade of eukaryotes containing four large groups of amoebozoans: Eumycetozoa or "true" slime molds, [3] Variosea, Cutosea and Archamoebae.It is defined on a node-based approach as the least-inclusive clade containing Dictyostelium discoideum (a true slime mold), Protostelium nocturnum (a variosean), Squamamoeba japonica (a cutosean), and Entamoeba histolytica (an ...
Eumycetozoa is a well supported clade within Amoebozoa. In independent phylogenetic analyses, it has been consistently recovered as the sister group to Archamoebae.The Eumycetozoa+Archamoebae clade is, in turn, the sister group to Variosea.
Cutosea (from Latin cutis 'skin') is a small group of marine amoeboid protists proposed in 2016. It is a monotypic class of Amoebozoa containing the order Squamocutida (from Latin squama 'scale' and cutis 'skin'). Cutosean organisms are characterized by a cell coat of microscales separated from the cell membrane.
The Tubulinea are a major grouping of Amoebozoa, including most of the more familiar amoebae genera like Amoeba, Arcella, Difflugia and Hartmannella. Characteristics [ edit ]
