Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 13, Issue 5, Page 708-719, October 2021., 2021 Summary Amoebae interact with bacteria in multifaceted ways. Amoeba predation can serve as a selective pressure for the development of bacterial virulence traits. Bacteria may also adapt to life inside amoebae, resulting in symbiotic relationships. Indeed, particular lineages of obligate bacterial endosymbionts have been found in different amoebae ...

The Important Role of Metal Ions for Survival of Francisella in Water within Amoeba Environment
BioMed Research International, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021 Francisella tularensis is a gram‐negative facultative intracellular bacterium that resists harsh environments. Several outbreaks of tularemia are linked to the consumption and contact with spring water. The number of F. tularensis in some waters is high, while in others, this bacterium does not survive.

Lysosomal Activity and its Control in Encysting Hartmannella castellanii [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1969 SUMMARY: A latent, non-specific phosphatase of Hartmannella castellanii with an optimum pH of 4·0 has been investigated. The latency could be released in cell-free homogenates by treatment with Triton x 100, freezing and thawing, refrigeration or carbon tetrachloride.

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 779-790, July 2020., 2020 Abstract Neoparamoeba perurans is the causative agent of amoebic gill disease (AGD). Two loop‐mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assays targeting the parasite 18S rRNA and the Atlantic salmon EF1α, used as internal control, were designed. The N. perurans LAMP assay did not amplify close relatives N. pemaquidensis and N.
