Overview | |
Grows well on bacterial cultures including an unidentified bacterium (Florida 20) on weak malt-yeast extract agar. Cells contain a yellow pigment, and masses of cells in culture are yellowish to light orange. Sporangia typically with one or two spores, stalks 3.2-10.5 µ long (occasionally longer). Spores spherical or compressed on one side in two-spored sporangia, 4.8-12.6 µm in diam. Amoebae typically with single nucleus and one to several contractile vacuoles; sub-pseudopodia filose; amoebae developing usually one but quite often two (more rarely three or four) flagella in water, flagellated cells mostly 5-13 x 14-32.5 µm. Microcysts developing abundantly, spherical to oval or somewhat irregular in shape, 4.3-23 µm in diam.
