Few studies have examined testate amoebae assemblages of estuarine tidal marshes. This
study investigates the possibility of using soil testate amoebae assemblages of a brackish …

Testate amoebae are unicellular animals with a discrete shell enclosing the cytoplasm. The
shells are readily preserved, are abundant in freshwater peatland and lake sediments, and …

A bstract The distribution of soil microorganisms is generally believed to be patchy and to

Testate amoebae and ciliates are common inhabitants of moist soils, lakes and peatbogs.
These microorganisms are important consumers of bacteria, flagellates and algae; they also …

In sphagnum biotopes (pine forests in the middle Volga River basin), 49 species of testate
amoebae were identified. Under the driest conditions, Centropyxis orbicularis, Trinema …

The toxic influence of oil on the number and diversity of testate amoeba population in peat
soils of the subtaiga zone (Western Siberia) was studied in field experiments with the oil …

Testate amoebae, soil microorganisms with teca, are highly resistant to physical-chemical
degradation, preserving their morphology, a specific trait, for thousands of years. The …

We present the first detailed analysis of subfossil testate amoebae from a tropical peatland.
Testate amoebae were analysed in a 4-m peat core from western Amazonia (Peru) and a …

The testate amoebae diversity and communities structure in epiphytic and soil mosses in the
natural reserves of Uzunbudzhak and Silkosiya (in the Strandzha Natural Park) were …

Fifty-nine species and intraspecific taxa of testate amoebae were identified from a
