Transfer of the Thecate Amoeba Lecythium mutabilis to a Novel Genus Omnivora (Fiscullidae, Thecofilosea, Cercozoa) [PDF]
Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, 2019 Thecofilosea is a class in Cercozoa (Rhizaria) comprising mainly freshwater‐inhabiting algivores. Recently, numerous isolates of thecofilosean amoebae have been cultured and were characterized by an integrated morphological and molecular approach.

The influence of amoeba metal homeostasis on antifungal activity against Cryptococcus gattii [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular BiologyFree-living amoebas are natural predators of fungi, including human pathogens of the Cryptococcus genus. To survive and proliferate inside phagocytes, cryptococcal cells must acquire several nutrients.

Symbiotic bacteria, immune-like sentinel cells, and the response to pathogens in a social amoeba
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Some endosymbionts living within a host must modulate their hosts' immune systems in order to infect and persist. We studied the effect of a bacterial endosymbiont on a facultatively multicellular social amoeba host.

Temporal and Spatial Survey on the Abundance of Amoebae and Bacteria in an Estuary and the Role of Environmental Parameters. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepFree‐living amoebae and bacteria were monitored along a salinity gradient over 1 year. Naegleria and Vibrio were the most represented genera, with salinity and dissolved oxygen identified as key factors structuring amoebae diversity and associated bacterial communities under changing environmental conditions.
