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.

Non‐lethal loop‐mediated isothermal amplification assay as a point‐of‐care diagnostics tool for Neoparamoeba perurans, the causative agent of amoebic gill disease

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.

Purification and specificity of bacteriolytic enzyme I from Hartmannella glebae [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1977
A soil amoeba (Hartmannella glebae), when grown in conjunction with Enterobacter aerogenes and Alcaligenes faecalis, produced two enzymes. Enzyme I was purified by gel filtration on Sephadex G-100 and chromatography on diethylaminoethyl-cellulose. It is a basic protein.

Synthesis of unsaturated fatty acids in the slime mold Physarum polycephalum and the zooflagellates Leishmania tarentolae, Trypanosoma lewisi, and Crithidia sp.: a comparative study

Journal of Lipid Research, 1965
On the basis of the unsaturated fatty acids which they synthesize, protists can be grouped in a meaningful way. Thus, the unsaturated fatty acids of the true slime mold are identical with the unsaturated fatty acids of the soil amoebae Acanthamoeba and ...
