Hello
In this video we see what was thought for some time was a new amoeba Ouramoeba, http://user.xmission.com/ ~ psneeley/Personal/Fwr09P.htm
Subsequent studies verified that it was amoeba Chaos, Proteus .. infected by a fungus that parasitizes these amoebae, in particular the fungus Amoebophilus

This very interesting. I have seen a number of these infected amoeba here in the forum, but have yet to see one of my own.

Hi Francisco,

This is not a Chaos or Amoeba proteus, but more likely Polychaos dubium. I have seen this amoeba often with fungi.
