嗜虫霉属

真菌的一属

嗜虫霉属学名Amoebophilus)为旋体霉科的一个,是一种以变形体(阿米巴原虫)为宿主的寄生生物[2]

嗜虫霉属
A freshwater amoeba crawling among debris on a microscope slide that is infected with a species of the fungus Amoebophilus. On the left, the amoeba has several pseudopodia extended. On the right, is a thallus of Amoebophilus that consists of four chains of spores laying in the same plane as the amoeba. The top chain points up and consists of three fully formed spores and one immature spore at the end furthest from the amoeba. The other three chains point toward the right and consist of two or three mature spores and one immature spore at the end of the chain.

美国生物学家约瑟夫·莱迪是第一个观察到嗜虫霉属的人,他于1874年报告了他的这项发现,但他当时将隶属嗜虫霉属下的生物误认为是变形体的一部分,还以此作为鉴别新物种的依据。直到1910年,法国生物学家皮埃尔·奥古斯丁·丹格尔德英语Pierre Augustin DangeardPierre Augustin Dangeard)才正式确认嗜虫霉属是一种以变形体为宿主的寄生生物,而非变形体的一部分[3][4]
