features
The cell body has a fixed, oval or bean-shaped shape, the front end is usually rounded, the rear end rather narrower. The cell moves across the substrate with characteristic vibrations. But it can also swim freely and then perform sinusoidal movements. The front flagella is usually not visible, the rear flagella is dragged along and does not adhere to the body. Occasionally, amoeboid forms occur. The cell size is usually three to five micrometers, in culture ten to 14 micrometers. Cysts are formed and are spherical, six to eight micrometers in diameter.
