SYNOPSIS. A comparison has been made of the protein amino acid compositions of Amoeba proteus, A. discoides, A. dubia and Pelomyxa carolinensis. The protein amino acid compositions of each of these species differed in 1–3 of the following amino acids: arginine, aspartic acid‐asparagine, threonine and glycine. The possibility of using these characteristics as acceptable genetic markers is discussed.
