Gromia
''Gromia'' is a genus of protists, closely related to foraminifera, which inhabit marine and freshwater environments. It is the only genus of the family Gromiidae. ''Gromia'' are ameboid, producing filose pseudopodia that extend out from the cell's proteinaceous test through a gap enclosed by the cell's oral capsule. The test, a shell made up of protein that encloses the cytoplasm, is made up of several layers of membrane, which resemble honeycombs in shape — a defining character of this genus. ''Gromia'' were first discovered in shallow waters, with members of the best-characterized species ''Gromia oviformus'' often found inhabiting rock surfaces, sediments, or seaweed holdfasts. However, research from the 1990s and early 2000s identified gromiids inhabiting depths up to 4,392 m, leading to several new deep-sea ''Gromia'' species being described and recognized. A recent study of the deep sea species ''Gromia sphaerica'' revealed that it produces traces on the seafloor ...

Gromia Sphaerica
''Gromia sphaerica'' is a large spherical testate amoeba, a single-celled eukaryotic organism and the largest of its genus, '' Gromia''. The genus itself contains about 13 known species, 3 of which have been recently discovered. It was discovered in 2000, along the Oman margin of the Arabian sea, at depths around . Specimens range in size from in diameter. The test (organic shell) is usually spherical in shape and honeycombed with pores. There are filaments on the bottom of the organism, where it is in contact with the seafloor, and it is mostly filled with stercomata (waste pellets). In 2008, specimens were found off the coast of Little San Salvador in the Bahamas by researchers from the University of Texas. These ''Gromia'' were discovered to make mud trails as much as in length. It was previously thought that single-celled organisms were incapable of making these kinds of trails, and their cause was previously a source of speculation. The mud trails made by the Bahamian ...

Gromia Dubia
''Gromia dubia'' is a species of testate rhizarian animal in the family Gromiidae. It is known from a single specimen discovered in 1884 by Gruber, and no other specimens have been found. Gruber did not actually make a proper description of the species itself. See also * ''Gromia'' * Testate amoeba Testate amoebae (formerly thecamoebians, Testacea or Thecamoeba) are a polyphyletic group of unicellular amoeboid protists, which differ from naked amoebae in the presence of a test that partially encloses the cell, with an aperture from which the ...
