Popis: | We report the first isolation of a widely distributed free-living soil amoeba Leptomyxa (Amoebozoa, Leptomyxida) from endozoic conditions. The amoebae were detected after 14 days following inoculation of the intestine of the earthworm Lumbricus terrestris on an agar plate with Escherichia coli. The earthworm was collected from Calcaric Fluvisol (pH 7) in the Upper Váh region, north-west Slovakia. Observed amoebae were uninucleate, polypodial with typically branched pseudopodia, and morphologically resembled Leptomyxa australiensis. This study enlarges the range of amphizoic tendency in leptomyxid amoebae and indicates their interactions with Oligochaeta. |
