  8. Shelled #amoeba crawls like an octopus, shifting tactics on the go phys.org/news/2026-01-shelled- jstage.jst.go.jp/article/pjab/

    "Commonly found in #peatlands and freshwater environments, #Arcella belongs to a group called testate #amoebae, characterized by having its body enclosed, almost entirely, within a dome-shaped shell... Through an opening on its underside, Arcella can mold its cell body to create finger-like projections called #pseudopodia to capture prey and move around."

  9. How is amoebic dysentery treated?

    Tetracycline, quinoline derivatives, and metronidazole are used to treat this disorder.

    Paper: Yellow #polyketide pigment suppresses premature #hatching in social amoeba pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2116

    The #multicellular stage of the #amoeba #Dicyostelium discoideum is partially regulated by an intensely yellow natural substance. The newly identified natural product of the polyketide family prevents the #amoebae #spores from hatching too early.
