In the decades following the erection of Pelomyxa, researchers assigned numerous new species to it.
2.
These developments have raised new questions about the nature of " Pelomyxa palustris " itself.
3.
For example, the giant amoeba " Pelomyxa " lacks mitochondria but has aerobic bacteria that carry out a similar role.
4.
The genus was created by R . Greeff, in 1874, with " Pelomyxa palustris " as its type species.
5.
"Pelomyxa " lack theory of serial endosymbiosis, internalized the bacterial symbiont that later evolved into the mitochondria of the modern cell.
6.
The absence of dictyosomes in " Pelomyxa " was also considered primitive, which would separate it from " Entamoeba ", which has dictyosomes.
7.
Since 2004, four new " Pelomyxa " species have been described, and two older species have been redescribed and confirmed as valid members of the genus.
8.
Consequently, " Pelomyxa " and the other Archamoeba were reassigned to the phylum Amoebozoa, under the subphylum Conosa ( shared with the Mycetozoan slime moulds ).
9.
Since there existed already a genus of giant multinucleate amoebae, " Pelomyxa ", Wilson placed his organism in that taxon, naming it " Pelomyxa carolinensis ."
