Chaos is a genus of single-celled amoeboid organisms in the family Amoebidae. The largest and most-known species, the so-called "giant amoeba" ( Chaos carolinensis ), can reach lengths up to 5 mm, although most specimens fall between 1 and 3 mm. [3] [4] [5] Members of this genus closely resemble those of the genus Amoeba and share the same ...
Polychaos dubium. Polychaos dubium is a freshwater amoeboid and one of the larger species of single-celled eukaryote. Like other amoebozoans, P. dubium moves by means of temporary projections called pseudopods. P. dubium reportedly has one of the largest genome size of any organism known, [3] though the authors of a 2004 study suggest treating ...
Acanthamoeba is a genus of amoebae that are commonly recovered from soil, fresh water, and other habitats . The genus Acanthamoeba has two stages in its life cycle, the metabolically active trophozoite stage and a dormant, stress-resistant cyst stage. In nature, Acanthamoeba species are generally free-living bacterivores.

Pseudopodia. Amoeba proteus extending lobose pseudopodia. A pseudopod or pseudopodium ( pl.: pseudopods or pseudopodia) is a temporary arm-like projection of a eukaryotic cell membrane that is emerged in the direction of movement. Filled with cytoplasm, pseudopodia primarily consist of actin filaments and may also contain microtubules and ...
Amoebidae. The Amoebidae are a family of Amoebozoa, [1] including naked amoebae that produce multiple pseudopodia of indeterminate length. These are roughly cylindrical with granular endoplasm and no subpseudopodia, as found in other members of the class Tubulinea. During locomotion one pseudopod typically becomes dominant and the others are ...
