A quantitative study of the seasonal distribution of thermotolerant (37°C and 45°C), small free‐living amoebae (FLA) was conducted in Lake Issaqueena, a warm, monomictic lake with steep, sloping banks and a maximum basin depth of 10 m in the Piedmont region of South Carolina.NaegleriaandVahlkampfiawere the most frequently encountered FLA in littoral sediment and surface water samples whereasAcanthamoebawas most commonly isolated from profundal sediment, especially during late summer. In the water column, FLA populations were highest in a persistent detrital layer; however, few amoebae were isolated from a massive (∼1.5 m thick) layer ofOscillatoria. The onlyN. fowleriisolated in this study was from the detrital layer. Discussion of the influence of differences in watershed and basin morphology on variations in the size and generic composition of FLA populations for the aquatic ecosystems of Lake Issaqueena and Willard's Pond is included.
