The Rhizopods were further subdivided into lobose, filose, and reticulose amoebae, according to the morphology of their pseudopods.
32.
The former are predominantly insectivores, while the latter prey mostly on microscopic invertebrates, such as nematodes, amoebae and springtails.
33.
Treatment must also include a lumenal amoebicide to prevent reinvasion of tissues by amoebae still in the intestines ( see Amoebiasis ).
34.
Testate amoebae taxa are differentiated by their test characteristics and the type of pseudopodia ( lobose, recticulose, or filose ).
35.
The amoebae then make their way into the brain and spinal cord, causing a form of meningitis that is almost always fatal.
36.
It has not died, for death is a biological state, and there are no dead amoebae lying around after the fission!
37.
Zamilon does not appear to inhibit the ability of its helper virus to replicate significantly, nor to lyse its host amoebae cells.
38.
Of particular interest here is mimivirus, a giant virus that infects amoebae and encodes much of the molecular machinery traditionally associated with bacteria.
39.
For example, the slime mold " Dictyostelium " undergoes binary fission ( mitosis ) as single-celled amoebae under favorable conditions.
40.
They are traditionally considered lobose amoebae, but are not related to the others, and unlike them, do not form true lobose pseudopods.
