Ministeria vibrans is a bacterivorous amoeba with filopodia that was originally described to be suspended by a flagellum-like stalk attached to the substrate. Molecular and experimental work later on demonstrated the stalk is indeed a flagellar apparatus.[2]

The amoeboid protist Ministeria vibrans occupies a key position to understand animal origins. It is a member of the Filasterea, that is the sister-group to Choanoflagellatea and Metazoa.[2][3] Two Ministeria amoebae species have been reported so far,[4] both of them from coastal marine water samples: M. vibrans and M. marisola.[5] However, there is currently only one culture available, that of Ministeria vibrans.

The life cycle of Ministeria remains unknown.
