Seventy-eight species and forms of testate amoebae were identified from 29 freshwater and
soil habitats in three territories of China (Shandong and Hubei Provinces). Most abundant …

Testate amoebae are a group of shelled protozoa that occur in high density populations in
wet environments. More than 1900 testate amoebae species or subspecies have been …

Testate amoebae are micro-organisms characterized by an agglutinated or autogenous
shell enclosing the cytoplasm. Testate amoebae have been widely proposed as valuable …

Testate amoebae from a large fen peatland of China were investigated in August 2009.
Thirty-six testate amoebae species belonging to 16 genera and one rotifer were identified …

Testate amoebae are an irreplaceable key component of microbial communities in many
aquatic and soil ecosystems and well known as useful bioindicators. In the present work …

Testate amoebae are unicellular organisms living in soils, wetlands and aquatic habitats
which produce decayresistant shells (tests). They are especially diverse and abundant in …

Testate amoebae are unicellular protists that build a test (shell), in which a single amoeboid
cell is enclosed. They occur worldwide in a range of terrestrial, wetland, freshwater and even …

Knowledge of the effect of geographic factors on the assemblages of protozoan testate
amoebae is still limited, despite there having been a number of studies on this fauna. We …

This study investigates the testate amoeba communities of a large peatland in Central
