Abstract:The study aimed to determine how different culture mediums affected the growth and morphology of the testate amoeba Arcella gibbosa Penard, 1890 in the laboratory. This study experimented with two main ways of culturing (MWC and distilled water with rice). The results revealed that Arcella gibbosa had shell diameter (42.12 - 59.10 µm), shell height (27.14 - 37.14 µm), and mouth diameter (8.12 - 21.01 µm). Comparing the species density of Arcella gibbosa over time in intermittent growth circumstances showed tha… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
