Cochliopodium

Cochliopodium
	Amoeba of the genus Cochliopodium. Phase contrast microscopy. In the center, three digestive vacuoles with algae are visible, and a dark cell nucleus is located just below. The cytoplasm contains a lot of light contractile vacuoles, you can notice yellowish crystals.

Recombination and Meiosis

The Cochliopodium genome includes genes whose functions are employed in the process of genetic recombination suggesting the possibility of a sexual stage.[7] The genome sequence of Cochliopodium minus contains a complete set of genes necessary for meiosis a key stage of sexual reproduction.[8]
