Heliozoa, commonly known as sun-animalcules, are microbial eukaryotes with stiff arms radiating from their spherical bodies, which are responsible for their common name.

The Heliozoa are primarily freshwater counterparts of the better known marine Radiolaria (classes Polycystinea and Phaeodarea) and Acantharia. All these groups have unique pseudopodia, …

The heliozoa are radially symmetrical unicells ( see diagram of Actinosphaerium) characterised by the possession of long, slender cytoplasmic arms called axopodia, stiffened by a complex …

Heliozoans are spherical and predominantly freshwater and are found either floating or stalked. They are frequently enveloped by a shell (or test) composed of silica or organic material …

Jul 21, 2023 · The heliozoa have been traditionally considered a discrete group, but the polyphyletic nature of the heliozoa is indicated by the different patterns of ultrastructural …

Mar 2, 2019 · Centrohelids, also called true Heliozoa, are ubiquitous, unicellular amoeboid organisms with slender uniformly radiating axopodia by which they feed. These axopodia are …

To partly fill this phylogenetic gap, we present here combined small-subunit ribosomal RNA and actin sequence data for the three main groups of “Heliozoa” (Actinophryida, Centrohelida, and …

Heliozoa, commonly known as sun-animalcules, are microbial eukaryotes (protists) with stiff arms (axopodia) radiating from their spherical bodies, which are responsible for their common name.

Heliozoa, commonly known as sun-animalcules, are microbial eukaryotes with stiff arms radiating from their spherical bodies, which are responsible for their common name.

Heliozoa (superclass Sarcodina, class Actinopodea) A subclass of protozoa which have a spherical cell body from which radiate many slender pseudopodia. In some species there is a …
