Figs 1–10 in A New Amoeba with Protosteloid Fruiting: Luapeleamoeba hula n. g. n. sp. (Acanthamoebidae, Centramoebida, Amoebozoa)

Figs 1–10. Light micrographs of Luapeleamoeba hula n. g. n. sp. strain LHI05M-5a-1. 1. Side view of fruiting body on native substrate in primary isolation plate (PIP). 2. Living amoeba on agar surface in monoeukaryotic culture. The cell is moving in the direction of the bottom of the image. 3. Amoebae and fruiting bodies in various stages of development on agar surface viewed subaerially from top in a PIP during the late afternoon. i – immature sporocarp, M – mature sporocarp, P – prespore cell. Note the apparent thickness of the amoebae. 4. Fruiting bodies in various stages of development viewed subaerially on native substrate in PIP during late afternoon. Amoebae seen obliquely are obviously dome shaped. 5. Stalk with apophysis viewed from side after spore has discharged. 6. Floating form of a living amoeba in liquid media slightly flattened with cover slip under 63 × oil differential interference contrast microscopy (DIC). 7. Amoeba gently fixed on slide to maintain locomotive form, 40 × dry DIC. 8. Two living amoebae in PIP digesting fungal spores. 9. Amoeba gently fixed on slide to maintain locomotive form showing blunted triangular subpseudopodia extending from broad hyaline lamellipodium, 40 × dry DIC. 10. Three amoebae gently fixed on slide to maintain locomotive form 40 × dry phase contrast. Scale bars: 10 µm throughout.
