The anatomical, morphological and molecular features involved in taste and smell may differ among disparate groups, but the principle of chemoreception is conserved. Here we debate the sense of taste and smell in the feeding behaviour of the unicellular protist, Acanthamoeba. }, doi = {10.4467/16890027AP.14.013.1594 }, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/acta-protozoologica/article/taste-and-smell-in-acanthamoeba-feeding} }
