Scientific Name

Amoebophilus simplex
|
|
Comments
|
The parasite Amoebophilus simplex (Zoopagales) and its amoeba host. Nutrient transfer is facilitated through a specialized hypha called a haustorium. Chains of spores are produced that are engulfed by scavenging amoebae to begin the infection process.
