Gromia is a genus of protists, closely related to foraminifera, which inhabit marine and freshwater environments. Gromia are ameboid, producing filose pseudopodia that extend out from the cell’s proteinaceous test through a gap enclosed by the cell’s oral capsule. The test, a shell made up of protein that encloses the cytoplasm, is made up of several layers of membrane, which resemble honeycombs in shape — a defining character of this genus.
