In the eukaryote supergroup Rhizaria, Foraminifera are a subgroup of amoeboid protists characterized by threadlike pseudopodia and shells made of calcium carbonate. An example is Astrolonche, which is not pathogenic to humans.

Microbiology covers the scope and sequence requirements for a single-semester microbiology course for non-majors. The book presents the core concepts of microbiology with a focus on applications for careers in allied health. The pedagogical features of the text make the material interesting and accessible while maintaining the career-application focus and scientific rigor inherent in the subject matter. Microbiology’s art program enhances students’ understanding of concepts through clear and effective illustrations, diagrams, and photographs.

Microbiology is produced through a collaborative publishing agreement between OpenStax and the American Society for Microbiology Press. The book aligns with the curriculum guidelines of the American Society for Microbiology.

Foraminifera

In the eukaryote supergroup Rhizaria, Radiolaria are a subgroup of amoeboid protists characterized by threadlike pseudopodia and shells made of silica. An example is Actinomma, which is not pathogenic to humans.

Radiolaria

In the eukaryote supergroup Rhizaria, Cerozoa are a subgroup of amoeboid protists characterized by threadlike pseudopodia and complex shells. Some forms are parasitic, such as Spongospora subterranea (which causes powdery scab in potatoes) and Plasmodiophora brassicae (which causes cabbage clubroot).
