Acaulopage Tetroceros
''Acaulopage'' is a genus in the former Zygomycota that preys on amoeba. Morphology Species of ''Acaulopage'' are characterized by coenocytic hyphae that have patches of yellowish adhesive patches used to capture amoeba. Conidia are borne directly on the hyphae and vary widely in morphology. Many bear one to many empty appendages. For example, ''A. marantica'' conidia have a single appendage; ''A. tetraceros'' conidia have an average of four appendages; and, ''A. lasiospora'' conidia are covered in appendages. Zygospores are globose with ornamented walls. Ecology Species are often recovered from soil or leaf litter placed on agar in Petri dishes. ''Acaulopage tetroceros'' is the most commonly reported species. Species According to Gerald L. Benny, there are 27 species of ''Acaulopage''. *''Acaulopage acanthospora'' Drechsler 1938 *''Acaulopage aristata'' Jones 1959 *''Acaulopage baulispora'' Drechsler 1948 *''Acaulopage ceratospora'' Drechsler 1935 *''Acaulopage cercospora'' Dr ...
