Vampires in the oceans: predatory cercozoan amoebae in marine habitats.

The ISME journal - 1 Dec 2013

Abstract excerpt

Vampire amoebae (vampyrellids) are predators of algae, fungi, protozoa and small metazoans known primarily from soils and in freshwater habitats. They are among the very few heterotrophic naked, filose and reticulose protists that have received some attention from a morphological and ecological point of view over the last few decades, because of the peculiar mode of feeding of known species. Yet, the true extent...
