Abstract
Abstract We report the first isolation of a widely distributed free-living soil amoeba Leptomyxa (Amoebozoa, Leptomyxida) from endozoic conditions. The amoebae were detected after 14 days following inoculation of the intestine of the earthworm Lumbricus terrestris on an agar plate with Escherichia coli. The earthworm was collected from Calcaric Fluvisol (pH 7) in the Upper Váh region, north-west Slovakia. Observed amoebae were uninucleate, polypodial with typically branched pseudopodia, and morphologically resembled Leptomyxa australiensis. This study enlarges the range of amphizoic tendency in leptomyxid amoebae and indicates their interactions with Oligochaeta.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
