Amoeba Proteous.
Kingdom Protista (Eukaryotic)
Single cell protozoan
Heterotrophic
Group Sarcodina (Amoeba has psuedopods for locomotion)
(Bright green vacuoles and pseudopods obvious indicators)
Paramecium caudatum
Kingdom Protista (Eukaryotic)
Protozoan (Heterotrophic)
Ciliophora (uses Cilia for locomotion)
Protozoans vs Algae
Protozoans are heterotrophic and lack a cell wall.
Algae has chlorplast and are autotrophic and have cell wall.
Both belong to the protista kingdom
Spirogyra
Kingdom protista
Algae ( autotrophic)
filamentous algae
identifying features- the chloroplasts arranged in spiral shape
Volvox spp.
Kingdom protista
Colonial Algae (autotrophic)
Has daughter colonies (green balls) and surrounded by flagella
Candida Albicans
Fungi (Eukarya)
Heterotroph
Opportunistic pathogen yeast
can lead to candidiasis and occur in mouth, throat, gut or vagina.
Rhizopus spp.
Fungi (eukaryotic)
Common bread mold
Could be opportunistic pathogen in diabets producing zygomycosis
Sporangia on Rhizopus spp.
Asexual stage Mold
hundred of haploid sporgangiospores.
Zygospore
Sexual stage of rhizopus spp.
Zygospore produced when two different mating types of hyphae merge.
Aspergillus spp. with conidia
Protista ( Eukaryotic)
Fungi
Mold
Opportunistic pathogen can lead to aspergillosis.
Identifying: little flowers outward sprouting out compared to penicillum conidia
Penicillium spp. with conidia
Protista (Eukaryotic)
Fungi
Mold
Famous for production of penicillin
more skinnier brush like conidia

CYSTS HAVE MULTIPLE NUCLEUS AND SPHERICAL IN SHAPE
Protozoa (Eurakaryotic)
Sarcodina (Amoeboids, move by pseudopodia)
Amoebic dysentery or amobiasis (gotten thru digestion of cysts from contaminated water)
Diagnosis from finding cysts & trophozoites in stool samples.

Entamoeba histolytica trophozoite
TROPHOZOITES have single nucleus and cytoplasm has granular appearance.
Protozoa (Eurakaryotic)
Sarcodina (Amoeboids, move by pseudopodia)
Amoebic dysentery or amobiasis (gotten thru digestion of cysts from contaminated water)
Diagnosis from finding cysts & trophozoites in stool samples.
Toxoplasma gondii
Disease: toxoplasmosis (cats)
Protozoa (Phylum ciliophora)
Unicellular
You get it from ingestion of cysts can cause still births.
Taenia spp. eggs
Taeniasis
Humans become infected by eating raw or uncooked meats.
