Gas Vacuoles and Flotation in the Testate Amoeba Arcella discoides |
|
| Authors: | COLIN G. OGDEN |
| Abstract: | The natural formation of gas vacuoles as a method of movement is described for the testate amoeba Arcella discoides. These vacuoles are used to float the organism from the substrate to the surface in an inverted position. |
