Rhizamoeba

Members of Rhizamoeba are characterized by their morphology when they move, which is usually monopodial (with a single ramification), alternating between a slug-like shape and a fan shape. They have either one nucleus or multiple (less than 50) nuclei. ==Classification==

The paraphyly of the genus caused the transfer of two previously rhizamoeban species into Leptomyxa: R. australiensis and R. neglecta. As a result, only 3 species are currently confirmed as Rhizamoeba: • Rhizamoeba saxonica • Rhizamoeba polyura • Rhizamoeba matisi Other possible species are not yet confirmed due to lack of published data or poor documentation. but poorly documented), Amoeba clavarioides (identified as R. clavarioides through light microscopy), Polychaos timidum (identified as R. timidum through light microscopy), etc. ==References==
