Rhizamonotactic form of Rhizamoeba spec.
Rhizamoeba spec.
This large Rhizamoeba had about 10-20 nuclei, each about 7 µm, with 1-3 peripheral nucleoli. It came up in a wet mount kept for some days in a moist chamber. In sediments from the Laegieskamp, 2014.
Stationary form, very sensitive to light, starts immedialtely retracting its pseudopodia when it comes into the light path.
The stationary form changes into a rhizomonotactic locomotive form.
Four nuclei, 6.4 – 7.3 µm (L) and four nuclei, 6.2 – 7.4 µm (R)
