Importance of organism and transcriptomesThe genus Filamoeba has been placed within the Lobosea, closely related to the classic lobose amoebae Amoeba and Chaos (Amoebida Page 1967). Molecular data place Filamoeba nolandi in the newly described group Flammellidae, along with other filopodia producing Amoebozoa (Kudryavtsev et al. 2009; Lahr et al., submitted). Filamoeba spp. can be free living and/or can be parasites of fish (Dykova and Lom 2004). Lineages grouping with Filamoeba nolandi have been found in habitats as diverse as coastal waters and the naturally polluted Rio Tinto, a river with a pH of 2 and high levels of metals attributed to its waters draining from iron-rich deposits (Amaral Zettler et al. 2002). There are only two described species, but given variable ssu-rDNA sequences and its remarkable environmental range, it is likely that there is considerable undescribed diversity here that will benefit from a transcriptome dataset.
