Journal ArticleDOI
Nucleosphaerium tuckeri nov. gen. nov. sp. — A new freshwater filose amoeba without motile form in a new family nucleariidae (Filosea: Aconchulinida) feeding by ingestion only
J.P. Cann,F.C. Page +1 more
TL;DR: A new non-motile member of the Aconchulinida is described and compared with two other members nuclearia and Vampyrella, and a new family, Nucleariidae, is proposed for filose amoebae which engulf food particles, including the genera Nuclearia and Nucleosphaerium.
Journal ArticleDOI
The induction of pinocytosis in Amoeba proteus by ultraviolet radiation
TL;DR: Following the induction of pinocytosis by U.V. radiation there was a large increase in contractile vacuolar output which was correlated to the solution that was being taken up during pinocyTosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Novel Lineage of ‘Naked Filose Amoebae’; Kraken carinae gen. nov. sp. nov. (Cercozoa) with a Remarkable Locomotion by Disassembly of its Cell Body
TL;DR: Phylogenetic analyses of SSU sequences reveal that Kraken are core (filosan) Cercozoa, branching weakly at the base of the cercomonad radiation, most closely related to Paracercomonas, Metabolomonas, and Brevimastigomonas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Paravannella minima n. g. n. sp. (Discosea, Vannellidae) and distinction of the genera in the vannellid amoebae.
TL;DR: The cell coat structure of the studied species corresponds to the hypothesis that vannellid amoebae were ancestrally enclosed in a cell coat consisting of pentagonal glycostyles that have undergone multiple independent losses in various clades of Vannellidae.
Journal ArticleDOI
The rate of attachment of amoebae to the substratum: A study of nuclear-cytopolasmic relationships
TL;DR: The rate of attachment to the substratum was found to be a strain specific character of certain large free-living amoebae and both the nucleus and the cytoplasm of the more rapidly attaching strain were able to transmit this character to amoEBae of theMore slowly attaching strain.
