Cochliopodiidae

Cochliopodium spec. Several focus planes show a specimen of Cochliopodium, perhaps a member of the C. minutum group. Scale bar indicates 10 µm. The scales are very delicate and were not clearly visible.

Cochliopodium (cock-lee-o-podium) is a common amoebae. It is made distinctive by the layer of small scales on the surface. Fine filamentous or conical pseudopodia emerge from under the edge of the coating of scales. Consumes bacteria, algae, detritus etc. Two cells evident here. Phase contrast.

Cochliopodium (cock-lee-o-podium) is a common amoebae. It is made distinctive by the layer of small scales on the surface. This picture shows the scales viewed from the side. These scales led some workers to regard these as shelled amoebae or some intermediary between naked and shelled amoebae. However, it is now evident that many amoebae have a glycoprotein +glycocalyx coating the surface of the cell, and in a variety of species this may form aggregates, lumps or scales. these structures are more strongly developed in Cochliopodium than in most other genera. Differential interference contrast.
