Hi Arturo,

It is nearly impossible to identify an amoeba based on one single photograph. The only distinct feature here is the nucleus. But I can't see how your amoeba is moving. The amoeba seems to be flattened or pressed. I should know the shape of the pseudopodia before I can give any comment.

Best wishes,

Ferry

Hello Arturo,

Thank you, that makes sense. It is Polychaos dubium.

Best wishes,

Ferry
