Bar consistently seen as cotton-like fluff in all active amoebae cultures and absent in pure cultures of the B bacillus, may be part of the feeding process. Typical engulfing by pseudopods was rare as it was for at least one other vahlkampfid described by Page (1967). It is likely that P. jugosus can digest bacillus spo

Typical engulfing by pseudopods was rare as it was for at least one other vahlkampfid described by Page (1967). It is likely that P. jugosus can digest bacillus spores, even manganese- coated ones. As P. jugosus grow on older colonies of bacteria which have all trans- formed to manganese-encrusted spores, cyst-ridden plaque-like holes on plates re- place the bacteria. Electron micrographs show bacterial spores in the cytoplasm of the amoebae (Fig. 1 1)..
