CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing in the heterotrophic protist <i>Acanthamoeba castellanii</i>

2026-07-29

Abstract excerpt

Members of the amoebozoan genus Acanthamoeba are unicellular heterotrophic protists that inhabit a wide range of terrestrial and aquatic environments. They are opportunistic pathogens known to host disease-causing bacteria as well large DNA viruses. While Acanthamoeba is commonly used to study cellular locomotion, phagocytosis, and disease, genetic tools for precise editing of the Acanthamoeba genome are still...
