The Rediscovery of a Rare Marine Amoeba: Rhabdamoeba
The world of microscopic organisms is full of surprises. Recently, a rare marine amoeba species, known as Rhabdamoeba rosea, was rediscovered after almost two decades of being lost. The species was originally found in the late 1990s off the coast of California, but had not been detected since then. However, earlier this year, researchers from the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB) were able to find the elusive species again. The amoeba is notable for its unusual shape and size, as well as its ability to thrive in extreme environments.
