Description of Echinamoeba

provided by BioPedia
These small amoebae are usually triangular, fan-shaped or elongate in outline during locomotion. Locomotive cell small, around 12 µm, usually triangular, fan-shaped or elongate. With a few short spiny pseudopodia (echinopodia up to 1.5 µm long) extending from the hyaline region. Single nucleus. Cysts smooth and spherical. Thin cyst wall with a narrow space between the outer and inner layers, although one species has cysts without layers. Type species: E. exudans (Page, 1967). Like Acanthamoeba, they appear spiny, however, the fine subpseudopodia (echinopodia) that extend from the cell margin are smaller, about 1.5 um in length. The anterior leading edge of the advancing cell is irregular. The single nucleus, with a central nucleolus, is small. Care should be taken to distinguish this genus from other spiny amoebae with short subpseudopodia - they include the genera Filamoeba, Comandonia and Stachyamoeba.

Tubulinea

provided by wikipedia EN

The Tubulinea are a major grouping of Amoebozoa, including most of the more familiar amoebae genera like Amoeba, Arcella, Difflugia and Hartmannella.

Characteristics

During locomotion most Tubulinea have a roughly cylindrical form or produce numerous cylindrical pseudopods. Each cylinder advances by a single central stream of cytoplasm, granular in appearance, and has no subpseudopodia. This distinguishes them from other amoeboid groups, although in some members this is not the normal type of locomotion.

Classification

This class was anticipated by some biologists such as Jahn, who grouped all amoebae with granular pseudopodia together,[1] but most split the lobose amoebae into testate Testacealobosia and naked Gymnamoebia. These latter are polyphyletic, but molecular trees by Bolivar et al.[2] identified a core monophyletic subgroup. Subsequent studies showed the testate lobose amoebae belong to the same group, which was thus renamed Lobosea sensu stricto[3] or Tubulinea.[4]
