There's an amoeba swimming in my brain
Trying hard to drive me insane
How it got there, I don't know
I've been rinsing my nose with water, though

Although this Neti pot thing is something I chose
I probably shouldn't put dirty water up my nose
Alas, it's too late for me
But not for you, you see.

Rediscovery of rare marine #amoeba Rhabdamoeba marina https://phys.org/news/2023-11-rediscovery-rare-marine-amoeba-rhabdamoeba.html

#Rhabdamoeba marina is a heterotrophic relative of chlorarachnid algae https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jeu.13010

"The study highlights the importance of observing environmental samples for the rediscovery of #unicellular organisms such as R. marina that lack genetic data. Such efforts are indispensable for understanding #MicrobialDiversity."

A diverse set of species, from #snails to #algae to #amoebas, make programmable DNA-cutting enzymes called #Fanzors — and a new study from scientists at MIT’s McGovern Institute for Brain Research has identified thousands of them.

"#Aliens? #Vegetables? Nope, vegetable and #animal bridge #mushrooms. They're the myxomycetes, and they can move and hunt for prey or look for the best environment for them. They are born from spores, like mushrooms.
#Myxomycetes move like huge #amoebas, like pulsating masses; their movements seem to be dependent on microfibrils that remember the fibers of the muscles. These "blobs′′ crawl (at a speed of 1 cm per hour) #phagocusing #bacteria, #algae, #yeasts, #protozoa and other #organic material as they go; they digest them and expel the remains outside. Not randomly, mixomycetes proliferate where there are plenty of prey - on decomposing logs or on carpets of dead, wet leaves. And so they're often found in the #woods, #yellow, #purple, #blue, #red, thanks to the #pigments they contain.
