Biology:Protostelium
From HandWiki
Protostelium is a genus of protosteloid amoebozoans, i.e., amoebae capable of forming simple fruiting bodies composed of a stalk and a ball of spores.[1] It contains numerous species, including P. aurantium, which was initially classified in a different genus Planoprotostelium. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that Planoprotostelium branches from within the genus Protostelium, making them synonyms.[2]
The genus is placed in the family Protosteliidae within the monotypic order Protosteliida, which is part of a larger group of amoebozoans known as Variosea.[3][4]
Classification
Many species from the genus Protostelium have been transferred over time to other protosteloid genera. The following species remain:[2]
- Protostelium apiculatum Shadwick & Spiegel 2017
- Protostelium aurantium (Olive & Stoianovitch 1971) Shadwick & Spiegel 2017 (=Planoprotostelium aurantium Olive & Stoianovitch 1971)
- Protostelium mycophaga Olive & Stoianovitch 1960
- Protostelium nocturnum Spiegel 1984
- Protostelium okumukumu Spiegel, Shadwick & Hemmes 2006
