The vampyrellids are a small group of protists with filose pseudopods and lacking shells. Protists (ˈproʊtɨst are a diverse group of eukaryotic Microorganisms Historically protists were treated as the kingdom Protista but this Pseudopods or pseudopodia (from the Greek word ψευδοπόδια, ψευδός "fake false" Vampyrella is typical of the group. When free-floating, the cell is spherical and around 30 μm across, with long radially directed filose pseudopods as well as distinctive shorter club-shaped ones, so that it resembles a heliozoan. Heliozoa, or sun Animalcules are roughly spherical Amoeboids with many stiff Microtubule -supported projections called Axopods radiating outward Moving, the cell stretches out and takes a more typical amoeboid form, with an obvious distinction between the clear periphery and pseudopods and the greenish interior. Amoeboids are Unicellular lifeforms that mainly consist of Contractile vacuoles, a nucleus, and cytoplasm as their basic structure In this form it finds its way into algae cells and feeds on their interiors. Algae ( sing. alga are a large and diverse group of simple typically Autotrophic organisms ranging from Unicellular to Multicellular forms A few other vampyrellids are parasitic on fungi. Parasitism is a type of symbiotic relationship between Organisms of different Species. A fungus (ˈfʌŋgəs is a eukaryotic Organism that is a member of the kingdom Fungi (ˈfʌndʒaɪ As such, these vampyrellids can be an important control of parasitic rust fungus of wheat and other crops. Rusts are Fungi of the order Uredinales. Many of these species are plant Parasites. Wheat ( Triticum spp is a worldwide cultivated grass from the Levant area of the Middle East.

Vampyrellids characteristically have mitochondria with tubular cristae. In Cell biology, a mitochondrion (plural mitochondria) is a membrane-enclosed Organelle found in most eukaryotic cells. Cristae (singular crista) are the internal compartments formed by the inner membrane of a Mitochondrion. Together with the nucleariids they include the majority of the naked filose amoebae. The nucleariids are a small group of amoebae with filose pseudopods known mostly from soils and freshwater They have been considered possible members of the Cercozoa, but at present their relationship to other protists is uncertain. The Cercozoa are a group of Protists including most Amoeboids and Flagellates that feed by means of filose pseudopods
