Notes
Thirty marine strains of Platyamoeba, the most frequently isolated genus of naked marine amoebae, were investigated with the electron microscope. Their most distinctive feature was the glycocalyx, composed of more or less distinct hexagonal elements. Microtubules, sometimes associated with the Golgi bodies, were found in several strains. There was little difference in fine structure between strains with a spherical nucleolus and those with parietal nucleolar material.
