Vampyrella
''Vampyrella'' is a genus of amoebae belonging to the vampyrellid cercozoans usually ranging from 30-60 µm. Members of the genus alternate between two life stages: a free-living trophozoite stage and a cyst stage in which mitosis occurs.RÖPSTORF, P., HÜLSMANN, N., & HAUSMANN, K. (1994). Comparative fine structural investigations of interphase and mitotic nuclei of vampyrellid filose amoebae. ''The Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, 41''(1), 18-30. doi:10.1111/j.1550-7408.1994.tb05930.x This taxon has received a great deal of attention due to their peculiar feeding behaviour of perforating the cell wall of algal cells and drawing out the contents for nourishment. History Vampire amoebae were first discovered in 1865 by Leon Cienkowski. These amoebae were given the genus name ''Vampyrella'' due to their bright red colouration and their distinct feeding habits in which they perforate the cell wall of their host and draw out the inner contents of the cell, resembling th ...

Vampyrella Lateritia
''Vampyrella lateritia'' is a freshwater species of predatory amoebae that feeds on species of algae and is known for its specialized feeding strategy of removing, digesting, and ingesting the cellular contents of its prey. It is the type species of the genus ''Vampyrella'' and has been identified in numerous locations around the world including Brazil, Germany, and the eastern United States. Along with ''Vampyrella pendula'', its genome was sequenced in 2012. Life cycle ''Vampyrella lateritia'' has four life stages that revolve about the feeding cycle: motile trophozoites (the activated, feeding stage), plasmodia in which the cytoplasm contains many nuclei, digestive cysts, and resting cysts. It has been observed feeding on species from the genera '' Zygnema'', ''Spirogyra'', and '' Mougeotia'' and is considered a specialist predator as its known prey is restricted to a limited number of green algal species. Like other vampyrellids, ''Vampyrella lateritia'' grows well bet ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Vampyrellidae
The family Vampyrellidae is a subgroup of the order Aconchulinida (formerly Vampyrellida) within the phylum Cercozoa. Based on molecular sequence data, the family currently comprises the genus ''Vampyrella'', and maybe several other vampyrellid amoebae (e.g. ''Gobiella''). The cells are naked and characterised by radiating, filose pseudopodia (also referred to as filopodia) and an orange colouration of the main cell body. In former times the family Vampyrellidae contained several genera (e.g. ''Vampyrella'', ''Gobiella'', ''Leptophrys'', ''Platyreta'', ''Theratromyxa'') and was identical with the order Vampyrellida West, 1901, also known under the name "Aconchulinida". However, based on molecular sequence data it seemed reasonable to restrict the family Vampyrellidae to a subgroup (containing the genus ''Vampyrella'') and to establish another family for the genera ''Leptophrys'', ''Platyreta'' and ''Theratromyxa'', namely the Leptophryidae Hess et al., 2012.

Aconchulinida
Aconchulinida is an order of Cercozoa in the subclass Filosia. The outer zone is clear ectoplasm and has many vacuoles. It has a single nucleus. Its size range from 10 to 400 micrometers. It contains few genera, possibly including only ''Penardia'', but usually also considered to encompass all of the Vampyrellidae. References {{Cercozoa-stub Cercozoa orders ...
