Naegleria gruberi

Vahlkampfia (vall-camp-fee-a) (= Schizopyrenus - skitz-owe-pyre-een-us ?) a heterolobose amoeba, pseudopodia are produced in sudden bulges, and are lobose. Cyst with irregular outer wall. Differential interference contrast.
-
Vahlkampfia (vall-camp-fee-a) (= Schizopyrenus - skitz-owe-pyre-een-us ?) a heterolobose amoeba, pseudopodia are produced in sudden bulges, and are lobose. Large hyaline region. Also with posterior contractile vacuole, nucleus with nucleolus and various food vacuoles and inclusions. Usually with a small uroid giving rise to filaments, but this is not evident here. Phase contrast.

Heteramoeba (het-err-a-me-ba) a naked heterolobose amoeba, distinguished from other types of naked amoebae with lobose pseudopodia largely by ultrastructural features, but trophic heterolobose amoebae tend to form their pseudopodially suddenly rather than progressively. Phase contrast.

Heteramoeba clara Droop, 1962. The flagellate stage can form a more or less spherical cell up to 30 microns in diameter. There are two equal nearly equal flagella, 60 microns long, held, as far as one can see, tangentially when the organism is moving, they cause the cell to rotate about the axis of forward motion with a period varying from about a second in the larger, to a quarter of a second in the smaller individuals. There is deep cytostome, a furrow lying between the main body and a curved enfolding collar: In the globular mature cell the collar forms an incomplete circle around what appears to be the anterior pole, with the flagellar insertion at the outer edge of one end of it, but it is clear from smaller pyriform cells that the true orientation of collar and cytostome is lateral. The cytoplasm is clear in the absence of ingested food: there are no contractile vacuoles and no stigma or chloroplasts, but the large spherical, empty nucleus is conspicuous in the anterior part of the cell. It lies very close to the flagellar insertion and is surrounded mostly towards the rear, by a layer of small highly refractive inclusions. The cell membrane is firm, but can easily be deformed when food taken in, the cytostomal collar especially is so elastic as to enable the flagellate to surround and engulf prey twice its riormal size.

Some amoebae represent a threat to human health - they are the cause of an infection of the brain called amebic meningitis. Most of the forms which cause problems are known to favor warm waters - and the heated waters of Yellowstone present a heightened risk of infection - hence these informative signs to alert the public to the risks they take should they chose to swim in these waters.

Willaertia (will-ert-ee-as), a heterolobose amoeba. The heterolobose amoebae usually move with the pseudopodia forming as sudden bulges. A large anterior hyaline zone and a posterior uroid evident. Differential interference contrast.
