features

Trichamoeba species are narrow to thick, can actively move and are then monopodial (i.e. they only form a pseudopodium ). Flowing cells form radial pseudopodia. Your movements are usually even.

The cells are typically between 75 and 250 micrometers long. The glycocalyx is clearly visible. The nucleus is egg-shaped. The cytoplasm often contains bipyramidal crystals. The bulbose UROID is hairy smooth or short, sometimes with fine threads.
