| STRAINS (CLONES) OF AMOEBA PROTEUS AND AMOEBA SP. (PROTEUS-LIKE), ESTABLISHED DIRECTLY FROM NATURAL ISOLATES |
|
Amoeba proteus (Pallas 1766) Leidy 1878, strain Dz
Established by M.V. Tavrovskaya (Institute of Cytology RAS, St. Petersburg, Russia) in 1984. Isolated from pound located in Lopuhinsky Garden (St. Petersburg, Russia). |
|
Amoeba sp., strain CONT (proteus-like)
Established by A.S. Karpov (Institute of Cytology RAS, St. Petersburg, Russia) in 1989. Isolated from Kontrol'nyi gulf, Lake Sys'jarvi (Valaam Archipelago, North-Western Russia). |
|
Amoeba sp., strain VAL (proteus-like)
Established by A.S. Karpov (Institute of Cytology RAS, St. Petersburg, Russia) in 1989. Isolated from Skitskyi gulf, Lake Sys'jarvi, (Valaam Archipelago, North-Western Russia), august 1989, bottom sediments near the coast line. |
| AMOEBAE STRAINS OF DIFFERENT SPECIES OF AMOEBIDAE |
|
Amoeba amazonas (Flickinger, 1974) Friz, 1992 (strain Amazon)
From D.M. Prescott (University of Colorado, Boulder, USA) in 1969. Estabished by D.M. Prescott from river Amazon (Brazil). Notes. A long time the status of amoebae of this strain as a separate species was in doubt, because the name "was given without a description that is taxonomically valid..." (Page, 1988, p. 59); the formal taxonomical status of this species was established later (Friz, 1992). |
|
Amoeba borokensis Kalinina, Afon'kin, Gromov, Khrebtukova et Page, 1986 (strain Bor)
Established by L.V. Kalinina (Institute of Cytology RAS, St. Petersburg, Russia) in 1974. Isolated from pound in Borok settlement (Yaroslavl province, Russia), august 1974. Notes. It was initially established as a new strain of A. proteus, later was described as a separate species (Kalinina et al., 1986). |
