High transmembrane potential

That is to say: not as strongly negative as most cells, i.e. one of the weakest polarizations of the resting membrane that has been recorded.137.205.183.114 (talk) 14:52, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Size?

I don't see its actual dimensions quoted. Is it macroscopic? GregZak (talk) 21:47, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Food?

Are they edible? Toxic? What role do they have in the ecosystem? What do they eat, and does anything eat them?68.206.249.124 (talk) 08:05, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Challenge to title of "largest unicellular organism"

Aren't xenophyophores larger? That page lists Syringammina fragilissima as being up to 20cm. Going by the photo, this thing certainly isn't the largest unicellular organism by either diameter or surface area. Maybe it's still the largest by volume?
