Bodenwerder, Weser

In October 2012 I took a sample from the bank of the river Weser, close to the old railroad bridge, in the town of Bodenwerder, in Central Germany. The sample came from a large stone just beneath the water level. At home I made some Moist-Chamber-Mounts, which resulted in some beautiful and unexpected amoeboids:

• Paramphitrema lemanense
• Cyphoderia calceolus
• Cyphoderia laevis
• Cochliopodium granulatum
• Leptophrys sp.
• Polychaos dubium
• Rhizamoeba caerulea
• Thecamoeba striata
• Penardeugenia spec., probably new species
• Limnofila spp.
• Microgromia sp.
• Lecythium granulatus
• Lithocolla spec.
• Microcometes paludosa
• Acanthocystis aculeata
• Nuclearia flavocapsulata
• Chlamydaster laciniatus
• Centropyxis ecornis
• Difflugia varians
• Euglypha acanthophora
