Structure and development of Pelomyxa gruberi sp. n. (Peloflagellatea, Pelobiontida)
The general morphology, ultrastructure, and development of a new pelobiont protist, Pelomyxa gruberi, have been described. The entire life cycle of this eukaryotic microbe involves an alteration of uni and multinucleate stages and is commonly completed within a year. Reproduction occurs by plasmotom...

The general morphology, ultrastructure, and development of a new pelobiont protist, Pelomyxa gruberi, have been described. The entire life cycle of this eukaryotic microbe involves an alteration of uni and multinucleate stages and is commonly completed within a year. Reproduction occurs by plasmotomy of multinucleate amoebae: they form division rosettes or divide unequally. Various surface parts of this slowlymoving organism characteristically form fingershaped hyaline protrusions. Besides, during the directed monopodial movement, a broad zone of hyaline cytoplasm with slender fingershaped hyaline protrusions is formed at the anterior part of the cell. In multinucleate stages up to 16 or even 32 nuclei of a vesicular type may be counted.
