Unusual archamoeba Pelomyxa pilosa sp. nov. (Amoebozoa: Archamoebae: Pelobiontida): a light and electron microscopic study
This paper presents the results of a study and describes a new species of pelobionts, Pelomyxa pilosa sp. nov. (Archamoebae: Pelobiontida). This species was found in the bottom sediments of a pond near St Petersburg (Russia) and was examined using light, immunofluorescence, and transmission electron microscopy. It is placed in the genus Pelomyxa Greeff, 1874 based on a combination of morphological features, including the mode of locomotion, the presence of numerous flagella, the organisation of the cytoplasm, and the presence of obligate prokaryotic endocytobionts. The new species can be easily distinguished from congeners by the specific presence of numerous prokaryotic ectobionts on the cell surface and the organisation of the nuclear apparatus. The nucleolar material in this species forms a hollow sphere consisting of tightly adjacent patches of various shapes and sizes, surrounded by granular material.
期刊介绍:
Zoosystematica Rossica is an international journal for publication of papers on any aspects of systematic zoology, in all groups of animals, both extant and fossil, from all over the World. The journal is published in English and focuses on the descriptions of new taxa, revisions and reviews, nomenclature, theories and methods of taxonomy and phylogeny, interesting new faunal records, catalogues and checklists, identification keys, phylogenetic relationships and zoogeography. Faunistic articles are published in a limited way and only if they contain new records for large geographical regions and are important for zoogeography or taxonomy.
