Vampyrella

Genus of single-celled organisms

Vampyrella is a genus of amoebae belonging to the vampyrellid endomyxans usually ranging from 30-60 μm. Members of the genus alternate between two life stages: a free-living trophozoite stage and a cyst stage in which mitosis occurs. This taxon has received a great deal of attention due to their peculiar feeding behaviour of perforating the cell wall of algal cells and drawing out the contents for nourishment.
