TLDR
The overall growth showed little variation over ranges of media salinity (5–30‰), however, greater values were encountered in media of intermediate range, while mid-littoral and lowest low tide isolates preferred bay water agar and saline distilledWater agar media more.Abstract:
Acanthamoeba astronyxis strains, isolated from intertidal belts of Sagar Island (21°30′ to 21°50′ N and 88°04′ to 88°08′ E) facing Bay of Bengal, were cultured in saline distilled water agar medium supplemented withEscherichia coli as food bacterium. Population growth in bay water agar, cerophyl bay water agar and soil extract distilled water agar were compared with special reference to devised saline distilled water agar medium. The overall growth showed little variation over ranges of media salinity (5–30‰). However, greater values were encountered in media of intermediate range. Isolate from mangrove litter-soil of highest high tide belt (strains) grew more efficiently in cerophyl bay water agar and soil extract distilled water agar media while mid-littoral and lowest low tide isolates preferred bay water agar and saline distilled water agar media more.read more

Seasonal Abundance of Acanthamoeba rhysodes (Singh, 1952) (Protozoa: Gymnamoebia) in a Mangrove Litter‐Soil Ecosystem of Gangetic‐Estuary, India,
TL;DR: It has been found that the overall number of organisms per gram of soil attains peak value during the monsoon period, and this value comes down in post-monsoon samples and is the least in pre- monsoon ones.

Marine Amebae From Clean and Stressed Bottom Sediments of the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico
TL;DR: Two previously undescribed amebae were found to represent new genera and species and are described herein, one from the Delaware mariculture facility and the other from the digestive tract of the blue crab, Callinectes sapidus, and the gill surface of the lady crab, Ovalipes ocellatus.
