Spores of the Large Free-living Amoebae [PDF]

Nature, 1956
IN the course of some experiments on Amoebae suggested to me by Dr. P. Couillard of Brussels, I have discovered an easy method of procuring clean spores, newly hatching and developing specimens of the large free-living Amoebae (proteus, lescherae, discoides, kerrii).

Information Transmission Strategies for Self‐Organized Robotic Aggregation

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
In this review, we discuss how information transmission influences the neighbor‐based self‐organized aggregation of swarm robots. We focus specifically on local interactions regarding information transfer and categorize previous studies based on the functions of the information exchanged.

Endocannabinoids Inhibit the Growth of Free-Living Amoebae [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2010
ABSTRACTThe cannabinoid Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol inhibits the growth of some pathogenic amoebaein vitroand exacerbates amoebic encephalitis in animal models. However, the effects of endogenous cannabinoids on amoebae remain unknown. Therefore, we tested several endocannabinoids (N-acyl ethanolamines and 2-O-acyl glycerol) on different genera of amoebae.

Cocultivation of Legionella pneumophila and free-living amoebae [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1982
Studies of the interaction of Legionella pneumophila with free-living amoebae showed that Naegleria lovaniensis and Acanthamoeba royreba could use L. pneumophila as a sole food source. However, growth of the amoebae on nonnutrient agar plates seeded with L. pneumophila was slower than growth on nonnutrient agar plates seeded with Escherichia coli.

Parachlamydiaceae: Potential Emerging Pathogens

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2002
Parachlamydiaceae, which naturally infect amoebae, form a sister taxon to the Chlamydiaceae on the basis of the Chlamydia-like cycle of replication and 80% to 90% homology of ribosomal RNA genes.

Environmental stress promotes the persistence of facultative bacterial symbionts in amoebae

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Amoebae are one major group of protists that are widely found in natural and engineered environments. They are a significant threat to human health not only because many of them are pathogenic but also due to their unique role as an environmental shelter
