Mayorella (may-or -ell-a) a medium sized free-living naked amoeba with conical pseudopodia. Central body is the nucleus. Phase contrast.

Mayorella (may-or -ell-a) a medium sized free-living naked amoeba with conical pseudopodia. Catholic in feeding preferences, eating bacteria, algae, protozoa, detritus etc. Periphery hyaline, with one nucleus, and various food vacuoles. Differential interference contrast.

Mayorella (may-or -ell-a) is one of the more catholic free-living naked amoeba. I This genus is distinguished primarily by the conical shape of the growing pseudopodia . The rear end of these amoebae is referred to as a uroid, and looks contracted or crumpled. Will eat a wide variety of materials. Phase contrast.

The uroid is to the lower left, conical pseudopodia extend from the migrating anterior end. Tips of the pseudopodia tend not to include organelles. Phase contrast microscopy.

Mayorella has characteristic v-shaped pseudopods. The inset in higher magnification shows the nucleus with the central nucleolus (high resolution optics Planapo 40/1,0 oil). The scale bar indicates 50 µm.   Sample from sphagnum pond situated in the northern alpine region of Austria near Salzburg. Images were taken using Zeiss Universal with Olympus C7070 CCD camera.

This specimen tried to feed a Closterium cell. But Mayorella was not able to solve the desmid's cell wall and gave up after a while. Sample from sphagnum pond situated in the northern alpine region of Austria near Salzburg. Images were taken using Zeiss Universal with Olympus C7070 CCD camera.
