2017, Experimental ParasitologyCitation Excerpt :As its name suggests L. reticulata is a reticulate amoeba often with hundreds of nuclei scattered throughout its many anastomosing pseudopodia (Cann, 1984; Page, 1988). Doubt has been expressed (Smirnov et al., 2009) if strain ATCC 50242 (Amaral Zettler et al., 2000) was correctly assigned to the species Leptomyxa reticulata since it is so dissimilar to other Leptomyxids. However, more recently, other species which have anastomosing reticulopodia have been isolated and 18S rDNA gene sequences analysis agrees that L. reticulata groups together with L. arborea (Smirnov et al., 2017).
Phylogeny and Systematics of Leptomyxid Amoebae (Amoebozoa, Tubulinea, Leptomyxida)
2017, ProtistCitation Excerpt :This species was probably re-isolated and studied by Pussard and Pons (1976c) at the light-microscopic level; the ultrastructure of Gephyramoeba remains unknown. A strain ATCC 50654, designated as Gephyramoeba sp. in Amaral-Zettler et al. (2000) was misidentified and has been re-described later as Acramoeba dendroida, a member of Variosea (Smirnov et al. 2008). There is one more group of amoebae included into Leptomyxida (Page 1976b, 1987) that requires special attention.
