Figure 1 – Free living amoeba isolated from AW1, AW2, Granjal,
Ferragudo, LO1 and LO2 collected samples. All images were
obtained in bright field. The amoebas were termed after the sample
from where they were isolated: A - AW1 trophozoite; B – AW2
trophozoite; C – GH trophozoite; D – GP trophozoite; E – Fer
trophozoite; F – LO1 trophozoite; G – LO2 cyst; H – LO2 trophozoite.
Figure 2 – Free living amoeba isolated from the Tagus River region.
All images were obtained in bright field. The amoebas were named by
numbers corresponding to a specific sample and media in which they
grew (see Table 2): A – 1 trophozoite; B – 2 cyst; C – 2 trophozoite; D –
3 cyst; E – 3 trophozoite; F – 4 trophozoite and cyst; G – 5 trophozoite; H
– 6 cyst.
