	Abstract

The variability and adaptability of the amoeba from the class Dictyosteliomycetes greatly complicate their systematics. The nucleotide sequences of the Ribosomal Internal Transcribed Spacers (ITS) and the 5.8 S rDNA gene has been determined for twenty eight isolates and shown their utility to discriminate between different species and genera.
