Applying of bacteria Cellulosimicrobium sp. for cultivation protozoa of genus Acanthamoeba

The aim of this study was identification features of cultivation representatives of genus Acanthamoeba isolated from bentonite using Cellulosimicrobium sp. as a bacteria-feeders. Identification of isolated bacteria was conducted by morphological, cultural and molecular-genetic methods. The cultivation of free-living "bentonite" amoeba on the lawn of Cellulosimicrobium sp. have gained significant advantages than using Escherichia coli as a bacteriafeeders was shown. "Bentonite" amoeba form crateroid plaques, which fit to the quantitative characteristic materials which contains amoeba, during deep co-cultivation Acanthamoeba sp. and Cellulosimicrobium sp. on 1% glucose meet-peptone agar.
