To this end we are isolating divergent protists such as diverse amoebae, diatoms (stramenopiles), and ciliates (alveolates).
Controls included the saline solution alone, with either legionellae or amoebae.
Survival of amoebae in the presence of 100 % fresh hamster serum depended on the number of parasites used in the test.
A light microscope was used to identify the genus of the amoebae detected.
They contrast it with the planktic lifestyle and suggest that it offers protection from both bacteriophage and predatory amoebae.
This is also unlikely as these amoebae were collected at the same place, in the same habitat and over a short period.
Aggregation of amoebae generally takes place in converging streams.
However, we oppose the new clause because we do not want simplified planning zones spawning uncontrollably like amoebae all over the place.
