Rhizamoeba
''Rhizamoeba'' is a small genus of free-living marine naked lobose amoebae in the monotypic family Rhizamoebidae in the order Leptomyxida. It is most closely related to '' Leptomyxa'' and '' Flabellula'', and some species have been moved to '' Leptomyxa'' due to molecular data. Morphology Members of ''Rhizamoeba'' are characterized by their morphology when they move, which is usually monopodial (with a single ramification), alternating between a slug-like shape and a fan shape. They have either one nucleus Nucleus ( : nuclei) is a Latin word for the seed inside a fruit. It most often refers to: *Atomic nucleus, the very dense central region of an atom * Cell nucleus, a central organelle of a eukaryotic cell, containing most of the cell's DNA Nucl ... or multiple (less than 50) nuclei. Classification The paraphyly of the genus caused the transfer of two previously rhizamoeban species into '' Leptomyxa'': '' R. australiensis'' and '' R. neglecta''. As a result, only 3 spec ...

Leptomyxa
''Leptomyxa'' is a free-living genus of lobose naked multinucleate amoebae in the order Leptomyxida that inhabits freshwater, soil and mosses. It is very closely related to the genus ''Rhizamoeba'', and some species have been moved between the two genera due to molecular data. Description Members of this genus have loboreticulopodia: wide and smooth cytoplasmic projections (like lobopodia) that can also connect to each other to form a net-like structure (like reticulopodia). They differ from ''Rhizamoeba'' not only on a molecular level but also in their morphology: each ''Leptomyxa'' cell has usually up to hundreds of nuclei, while ''Rhizamoeba'' cells contain between one and up to dozens of nuclei, and the organization of the cell is plasmodial among ''Leptomyxa'' while monopodial among ''Rhizamoeba''. Classification As of 2017, nine species belong to this genus. * '' Leptomyxa ambigua'' * '' Leptomyxa arborea'' * '' Leptomyxa australiensis'' * '' Leptomyxa flabellata'' * ' ...

Amoeba Clavarioides
An amoeba (; less commonly spelled ameba or amœba; plural ''am(o)ebas'' or ''am(o)ebae'' ), often called an amoeboid, is a type of cell or unicellular organism with the ability to alter its shape, primarily by extending and retracting pseudopods. Amoebae do not form a single taxonomic group; instead, they are found in every major lineage of eukaryotic organisms. Amoeboid cells occur not only among the protozoa, but also in fungi, algae, and animals. Microbiologists often use the terms "amoeboid" and "amoeba" interchangeably for any organism that exhibits amoeboid movement. In older classification systems, most amoebae were placed in the class or subphylum Sarcodina, a grouping of single-celled organisms that possess pseudopods or move by protoplasmic flow. However, molecular phylogenetic studies have shown that Sarcodina is not a monophyletic group whose members share common descent. Consequently, amoeboid organisms are no longer classified together in one group.Jan Pawlowski ...
