The Myxobiota of the Łagiewnicki Forest in Łódź (Central Poland)
Acta Mycologica, 2021 Herein, the results of studies conducted in the Łagiewnicki Forest in the city of Łódź (central Poland) in 2010–2012 are presented. These were the first long-term observations into myxomycetes in the Łagiewnicki Forest and in central Poland ...

Adhesion of Dictyostelium Amoebae to Surfaces: A Brief History of Attachments
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Dictyostelium amoebae adhere to extracellular material using similar mechanisms to metazoan cells. Notably, the cellular anchorage loci in Amoebozoa and Metazoa are both arranged in the form of discrete spots and incorporate a similar repertoire of ...

First Record of Potentially Pathogenic Amoeba Vermamoeba vermiformis (Lobosea: Gymnamoebia) Isolated from a Freshwater of Dokdo Island in the East Sea, Korea [PDF]
Animal Systematics, Evolution and Diversity, 2016 Vermamoeba vermiformis is a very important free-living amoeba for human health in association with Legionnaires’ disease and keratitis. This interesting amoeba was firstly isolated from a freshwater of Dokdo (island), which was historically used for ...

Comparing the Dictyostelium and Entamoeba Genomes Reveals an Ancient Split in the Conosa Lineage.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2005 The Amoebozoa are a sister clade to the fungi and the animals, but are poorly sampled for completely sequenced genomes. The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum and amitochondriate pathogen Entamoeba histolytica are the first Amoebozoa with genomes ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 The evolution and diversity of the supergroup Amoebozoa is complex and poorly understood. The supergroup encompasses predominantly amoeboid lineages characterized by extreme diversity in phenotype, behavior and genetics. The study of natural selection, a

, 2013 The model organism Dictyostelium discoideum is a member of the Amoebozoa, one of the six major -divisions of eukaryotes. Amoebozoa comprise a wide variety of amoeboid and flagellate organisms with single cells measuring from 5 μm to several meters across. They have adopted many different life styles and sexual behaviors and can live in all but the most

Open Research Europe, 2023 G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are seven-transmembrane proteins and constitute the largest group of receptors within eukaryotes. The presence of a large set of GPCRs in the unicellular Amoebozoa was surprising and is indicative of the largely ...

Cytoskeletal architecture and its evolutionary significance in amoeboid eukaryotes and their mode of locomotion [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 The cytoskeleton is the hallmark of eukaryotic evolution. The molecular and architectural aspects of the cytoskeleton have been playing a prominent role in our understanding of the origin and evolution of eukaryotes. In this study, we seek to investigate

Genetic Evidence for Sexuality in Cochliopodium (Amoebozoa) [PDF]
Journal of Heredity, 2017 Microbial eukaryotes, including amoeboids, display diverse and complex life cycles that may or may not involve sexual reproduction. A recent comprehensive gene inventory study concluded that the Amoebozoa are ancestrally sexual. However, the detection of sex genes in some lineages known for their potentially sexual life cycle was very low. Particularly,
