Abstract：
:Investigation of the ultrastructure of Protonaegleria westphali has been carried out by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electronmicroscopy (TEM). SEM investigation demonstrated much enlarged trophozoites, flagellates and cysts corresponding to those under light microscopical observation. In situ fixation of moving trophozoites revealed attachment to the substratum by many uroidal and lateral filopodia. The typical flagellate stage has four flagella inserted two by two at the anterior pole of the cell. The smooth wall of cysts had prominent pores sealed by a mucous plug. Apart from their greater size, trophozoites and cysts resemble those of the genus Naegleria. Mitochondria are not as elongated as in the case of Naegleria; rather, they are round. The cyst is surrounded by a thick, layered endocyst (0.2-0.5 micron) and a delicate ecotcyst loosely apposed to the endocyst. Both walls join at the region of the prominent pores, forming a characteristically thick collar. This, together with the pore structure (up to 1.0 micron in diameter) places the amoeba in group I of N. gruberi, according to Pussard and Pons (1979). The flagellate state usually has four flagella which are anchored firmly by a prominent flagellar apparatus or mastigont at the anterior pole of the cell, comparable to that of the genus Tetramitus. The flagella show a typical 9 + 2 arrangement of microtubules (MT) and are surrounded by a sheath which is continuous with the cell membrane. Main elements of the mastigont could be demonstrated as typical kinetosomes of 0.75 micron length. Each is closely associated with the cross-striated rhizoplast located perpendicular to it.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
