Hello science-loving friends! While I was looking through my microscope, I noticed some rather strange and unusual objects. At first glance, they seemed to be some kind of "fetus" or organism in a "larval" state, and even some cells. My curiosity led me to investigate further, and I discovered that these rather interesting structures are...✍🏻🔬
Hola amigos amantes de la ciencia! mientras estaba curioseando con mi microscopio note unos objetos bastantes extranos y poco comunes, en realidad a simple vista me dio la impresion que se trataban de algun "feto" o organismo en estado "larvario", e inclusive alguna celula, mi curiosidad me llevo a investigar mas a fondo y descubri que estas estructuras bastante interesantes son...🥽⚗️🧪🧫🧬
What are Amoebozoa?🔬✍🏻/Que son las Amoebozoa⚗️🥽

And I present to you these microorganisms that are located in the phylum Amoebozoa and grouped in the genus: Arcella, these microorganisms are simple freshwater amoebas quite common, and in reality only about 50 species have been discovered to date, this water sample is a medium quite loaded with organic elements and many nitrites, this is exactly the habitat of these amoebas that are harmless to us! The image is a structure like a shell, which inside is the living organism. I point out the two main parts: (nucleus, and test)⚗️🧬
Y te presento a estos microorganismos que se ubican en el filo Amoebozoa y agrupados en el Genero de: Arcella, estos microorganismos son simple amebas de agua dulce bastante comunes, y en realidad solo se han descubierto hasta la fecha unas 50 especies, esta muestra de agua es un medio bastante cargado de elementos organicos y muchos nitritos, este es exactamente el habitad de estas amebas que son inofensivas para nosotros! la imagen es una estructura como una concha, la cual dentro esta el organismo vivo yo te senalo las dos principales partes: (nucleo, y test)🧫🥽

Amoebas of this genus live inside a simple theca without chambers, as you can see in one of my photos I managed to capture an open theca where the amoeba is taking out its pseudopodia that function as "feet" for movement, in reality the amoebas do not have envelopes and the cell is always in free movement, they are structural proteins such as chitin, which allows the formation of the theca and its beautiful colors that are projected by the light; the most curious thing is that there are some species of Arcellas that cover their theca with organic substances or plates to protect themselves, the main compound is silicic acid.🧬⚗️
Las amebas de este genero viven dentro de una teca sencilla sin recamaras, como puedes ver una de mis fotos logre captar una teca abierta donde la ameba esta sacando sus pseudopodias que funcionan como "pies" para movimiento, en realidad las amebas no tienen envolturas y la celula siempre esta en libre movimiento, son proteinas estructurales tal como quitina, que permite la formacion de la teca y sus hermosos colores que se proyectan con la luz; lo mas curioso es que hay algunas especies de Arcellas que cubre su teca con sustacias organicas o placas para protegerse, el principal compuesto es acido silicico.✍🏻🔬

These species are too small, measuring about 50µ, impossible to see with the naked eye and you need a minimum of 80x to appreciate their details, all the pseudopods are different between species, they come out through a cone-shaped hole, the endoplasm of most amoebas with thecae is granulated or vacuolated, they surround the digestive vacuole, they have a great variety of microorganisms to feed on, from ciliates to algae.⚗️🧫📕
Estas especies son demasiado pequenas, midiendo unas 50μ imposible de ver a ojo desnudo y necesitas un minimo de 80x para poder apreciar sus detalles, todos los pseudopodos son diferentes entre las especies, salen por un orificio que tiene forma de cono, el endoplasma de la mas amebas con tecas esta granulado o vacuolizado, rodean a la vacuola digestiva, tienen una gran variedad de microorganismos para alimentarse, desde ciliados hasta algas.⚗️🧫

This is one of my favorite photographs! We can see the theca and the nucleus of the amoeba in great detail. Continuing with the explanation: most of these species are found in freshwater. It is rare to see an Arcella in marine water. We normally see them in the plankton layer, on the upper surface, in humid soils. Since theca are quite resistant, we can find them almost everywhere!📕🥽
Esta es una de mis fotografias favoritas! podemos ver con mucho detalle la teca y el nucleo de la ameba, continuando con la explicacion: la mayoria de estas especies se encuentran en aguas dulce son raros los casos donde vemos una Arcella en agua marina, normalmente los vemos en la capa del placton, en la superficie mas superior, en suelos humedos, como las tecas son bastante resistentes podemos encontrarlas en casi todas partes!🔬✍🏻

Based on this reference:
https://arcella.nl/arcella/ we can identify our amoeba as Arcella crenulata, there really is a lot of similarity, its shell is semi-circular, when they are young the shells have no colors, it is free-living and lives in fresh water, they absorb iron that is why when they are adults they turn brown! The nuclei are vacuform, they are one of the MOST DIFFICULT ORGANISMS TO IDENTIFY BECAUSE THEY MUST BE MADE LATERALLY📕🧫
Basandonos en esta referencia:
https://arcella.nl/arcella/ podemos identificar a nuestra ameba como Arcella crenulata de verdad hay mucha similitud, su concha es semi circular cuando son jovenes las conchas no tienen colores, es de vida libre y habita agua dulce, absorben hierro por eso cuando son adultas se tornan marrones! los nucleos son vaciculares, son uno de los ORGANISMOS MAS DIFICILES DE IDENTIFICAR PORQUE DEBEN HACERSE DE FORMA LATERAL😐🧬
I managed to do the impossible by taking a side photograph of the shell of an Arcella. As you can see, it's a bit concave. I want to make it clear that I don't know if it's the same species or another. The important thing is that we see a different shape to its theca.📕✍🏻
logre lo imposible conseguir realizar una fotografia lateral del caparazon de un Arcella, como puedes ver es un poco concavo, quiero dejar en claro que no se si se trata de la misma especie o es otra lo importante es que vemos una forma diferente su teca.🥽⚗️
