Abstract

Thecofilosea is a class in Cercozoa (Rhizaria) comprising mainly freshwater-inhabiting algivores. Recently, numerous isolates of thecofilosean amoebae have been cultured and were characterized by an integrated morphological and molecular approach. As attempts to establish a culture of Lecythium mutabilis repeatedly failed, it was not yet investigated by molecular means. We isolated single cells of L. mutabilis directly from their habitat and successfully sequenced the V4 region of their SSU rDNA. Phylogenetic analyses showed that L. mutabilis is not directly related to the genus Lecythium and instead branches within the Fiscullidae (Tectofilosida, Thecofilosea). Accordingly, we transfer the species L. mutabilis to a novel genus Omnivora gen. nov.
