The Archamoebae are a group of protists originally thought to have evolved before the acquisition of mitochondria by eukaryotes. [1] They include genera that are internal parasites or commensals of animals ( Entamoeba and Endolimax ). A few species are human pathogens, causing diseases such as amoebic dysentery.
Subsequently, they emended the phylum Amoebozoa to include both the subphylum Lobosa and a new subphylum Conosa, comprising the Archamoebae and the Mycetozoa. [3] Recent molecular genetic data appear to support this primary division of the Amoebozoa into Lobosa and Conosa. [8]
Aug 1, 2017 · General Characteristics. The Archamoebae is a group of amoebae, amoeboid flagellates, and amoeboflagellates (i.e., organisms with both flagellates and amoebae in their life cycle), with distinctive hyaline cytoplasm and bulging pseudopodia (Fig. 1 ).

May 1, 2013 · The archamoebae is comprised of mostly free-living flagellated pelobionts (mastigamoebids and pelomyxids) and endobiotic aflagellate entamoebae. The best known is Entamoeba histolytica, that causes amoebic dysentery of humans.
Jan 9, 2013 · Abstract. The archamoebae form a small clade of anaerobic/microaerophilic flagellates or amoebae, comprising the pelobionts (mastigamoebids and pelomyxids) and the entamoebae. It is a member of the eukaryotic supergroup Amoebozoa.
