Pyxidicula operculata A group of Pyxidicula living on Hyponeuston, the aquatic area closely attached to the water surface, together with bacteria, which are their prey. On the left the nucleus and the two contractile vacuoles are visible, right to this specimen lies an empty test. The water surface has enough tension so that this testate amoebae can walk on it.

Place name: Pond Suploch, Hiddensee (Germany) Latitude: 54.538638 Longitude: 13.097802 Eine Gruppe von Pyxidicula, welche im Hyponeuston wohnt, dem Lebensraum knapp unter der Wasseroberfläche, zusammen mit Bakterien, welche auch ihre Beute darstellen. Auf der linken Seite sind der Kern und die beiden kontraktilen Vakuolen sichtbar, direkt neben der intakten Zelle liegt eine leere Schale. Die Wasseroberfläche hat genug Spannung, so dass diese Schalenamöben auf ihr gehen können .

Portrait of Pyxidicula, a small testate amoeba in the family Arcellidae. This is an optical section through he cell center. The nucleus can be seen at 8 o clock just above a contractile vacuole. The chitinoid test has an inverted bowl shape with a broad pseudostome that is nearly the diameter of the test. The surface of the test is pitted with small puncta. Among filamentous algae in freshwater pond near Boise, Idaho. Differential interference contrast.
