3 thoughts on “Vermamoeba 18S rRNA references

  1. Is there a specific difference if you get Vermamoeba vermiformis or Hartmannella vermiformis after sequence analysis

    • Petros,

      thanks for the question. Amoebae previously considered to be members of the family Hartmannellidae have been shown to be polyphyetic. The amoeba that is referred to as either Hartmannella vermiformis or Vermamoeba vermiformis is now correctly in the new genus Vermamoeba, species V. vermiformis. Previous sequences that were deposited as H. vermiformis simply reflect the older archaic name that has been replaced.
      The paper that specified this new classification is Alexey V. Smirnov, Ema Chao, Elena S. Nassonova and Thomas Cavalier-Smith 2011. A Revised Classification of Naked Lobose Amoebae (Amoebozoa: Lobosa). Protist 162: 545-570. (Link at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21798804).

  2. Thanks Paul, i got some isolates were identified as Hartmannella vermiformis and others which were Vermamoeba vermiformis after sequencing, i yes i am answered
