Our research identifi ed 12 species of naked amoebae of 11 morphotypes. We established their ecological groups relative to abiotic aquatic factors: euryoxidic, stenooxidic, stenobiotic and those that survive in a wide range of organic matter content. According to the species composition, swamp and riparian species complexes of naked amoebae were identifi ed. It was found that species complexes of amoeba are infl uenced by such factors as temperature, concentration of dissolved oxygen and organic compounds.
