嗜蟲霉屬

真菌的一属

嗜蟲霉屬學名Amoebophilus)為旋體霉科的一個,是一種以變形體(阿米巴原蟲)為宿主的寄生生物[2]

嗜蟲霉屬
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.

美國生物學家約瑟夫·萊迪是第一個觀察到嗜蟲霉屬的人,他於1874年報告了他的這項發現,但他當時將隸屬嗜蟲霉屬下的生物誤認為是變形體的一部分,還以此作為鑑別新物種的依據。直到1910年,法國生物學家皮埃爾·奧古斯丁·丹格爾德英語Pierre Augustin DangeardPierre Augustin Dangeard)才正式確認嗜蟲霉屬是一種以變形體為宿主的寄生生物,而非變形體的一部分[3][4]
