Risk assessment for the spread of Serratia marcescens within dental-unit waterline systems using Vermamoeba vermiformis [PDF]

, 2015
Vermamoeba vermiformis is associated with the biofilm ecology of dental-unit waterlines (DUWLs). This study investigated whether V. vermiformis is able to act as a vector for potentially pathogenic bacteria and so aid their dispersal within DUWL systems.

The Cyst Wall Composition of Hartmannella glebae

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1984
In this study cyst walls of Hartmannella glebae were isolated and quantitatively analyzed. They were fractionated into alkali-insoluble and alkali-soluble fractions. The alkali-insoluble fraction appeared to be cellulose which represented 4.2% of the total weight of the wall.
