The maintenance of free-living amoebae by cryopreservation

The Korean Journal of Parasitology, 1992
We have successfully cryopreserved free-living amoebae in order to maintain them feasibly under the conditions in our laboratory. The viability of trophozoites was higher when frozen by slow cooling (overall 0.7 degree C/min) than by fast cooling (overall 1.3 degrees C/min).

Environmental Management of Legionella in Domestic Water Systems: Consolidated and Innovative Approaches for Disinfection Methods and Risk Assessment

Microorganisms, 2021
Legionella is able to remain in water as free-living planktonic bacteria or to grow within biofilms that adhere to the pipes. It is also able to enter amoebas or to switch into a viable but not culturable (VBNC) state, which contributes to its resistance

Pathogenic free-living amoebae

The Korean Journal of Parasitology, 1990
Studies on pathogenic free-living amoebae performed in Korea were briefly reviewed. One strain of Naegleria fowleri was isolated from the sewage, and 3 strains of Acanthamoeba culbertsoni from a reservoir and the gill of fish. They were identified by morphological characteristics. Three strains among the 4 were experimentally proved pathogenic to cause

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.
