Amoebozoa is a major taxonomic group containing about 2,400 described species of amoeboid protists, [8] often possessing blunt, fingerlike, lobose pseudopods and tubular mitochondrial cristae. [7] [9] In traditional classification schemes, Amoebozoa is usually ranked as a phylum within either the kingdom Protista [10] or the kingdom Protozoa.

Amoebozoa. The amoebozoans characteristically exhibit pseudopodia that extend like tubes or flat lobes, rather than the hair-like pseudopodia of rhizarian amoeba (Figure \(\PageIndex{18}\)). The Amoebozoa include several groups of unicellular amoeba-like organisms that are …

The Amoebozoa are a large group of eukaryotes originally thought to present basal eukaryote features and to be a basal branch at the eukaryotic tree. In fact, they are sister to the Obazoa, which together with some protozoan lineages also comprise animals and fungi.

2021年7月21日 · The amoebozoans include protist s that are distinguished by possessing pseudopods. Pseudopods are temporary cytoplasmic projections of the cell membrane that are used for locomotion and/or feeding. In particular, an amoeba moves in a distinctively crawling-like manner. The cell forms pseudopods towards the front of the cell.

2021年2月28日 · The amoebozoans characteristically exhibit pseudopodia that extend like tubes or flat lobes, rather than the hair-like pseudopodia of rhizarian amoeba (Figure 1). The Amoebozoa include several groups of unicellular amoeba-like …

The model organism Dictyostelium discoideum is a member of the Amoebozoa, one of the six major ­divisions of eukaryotes. Amoebozoa comprise a wide variety of amoeboid and flagellate organisms with single cells measuring from 5 μm to several meters across.

2024年11月23日 · The Amoebozoa include several groups of unicellular amoeba-like organisms that are free-living or parasites that are classified as unikonts. The best known and most well-studied member of this group is the slime mold.

2023年8月22日 · Dive into the microscopic world of Amoebozoa, a diverse group of eukaryotes renowned for their flexibility and adaptability. This article provides a detailed overview of their characteristics, structure, reproduction process, and classification.

With nearly a thousand species described, and numerous new discoveries each year, the Myxogastrea class is a line of Amoebozoa that has experienced great evolutionary success. Their typical development is of the “myxogastrid” type with a unicellular haploid phase and a diploid plasmodial phase. The plasmodia differentiated by these ...

Like the Archaeplastida, the Amoebozoa include species with single cells, species with large multinucleated cells, and species that have multicellular phases. Amoebozoan cells characteristically exhibit pseudopodia that extend like tubes or flat lobes.
