The ultrastructure of the amoeboid flagellate Thaumatomonas zhukovi sp. is presented. The cell is covered by cell body scales that formed on the surface of mitochondria. Capturing bacteria, the pseudopodia emerge from the ventral groove, which is supported by two longitudinal microtubular bands. The heterodynamic flagella emerge from the small flagellar pocket. Both flagella are covered by cone-shaped scales and thin twisted mastigonemes. The transitional zone of the flagella contains a thin-walled cylinder. The transversal plate of the flagella rises above the cell surface. The kinetosomes lie parallel to each other. The flagellar root system consists of three microtubular bands and a fibrillar rhizoplast. The vesicular nucleus and the Golgi apparatus have typical structures. The cytoplasm contains microbodies and food vacuoles. Mitochondria contain tubular cristae. Extrusive organelles (kinetocysts), which contain amorphous material and a capsule, were found in the cytoplasm. The capsule consists of a theca and a cylinder. The resemblance of Thaumatomonas zhukovi to other thaumatomonads is discussed.
