- According to the example about collecting, some of them eat bacteria. There certainly exist parasitic genera, for example, Entamoeba histolytica. -- saimhe 16:10, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Nice, fast edits
I was reading this, and saw the line of vandalism on there. I was about to change it when somebody already got it seconds before me. I refreshed and it was gone. Nice job!
Feel free to delete my message here, it's not important... just wanted to say thanks.

[edit] AGAIN WITH THE PICTURE!
This is Chaos diffluens! Different genus! I'm removing this picture again. If you find a picture of Amoeba, not Chaos, then please put it up. Thank you. Werothegreat 18:42, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Of course I have no idea what I'm talking about, but Google knows all (?):
- [1] Amoeba Soup: An A - Z of AmoebaeAmoeba proteus. Alternative names: A. diffluens, Chaos diffluens.
- [2] "Pinocytosis of inorganic salts by Amoeba proteus (Chaos diffluens)."
- [3] JSTOR: The Genus PelomyxaTo the latter genus, he assigned Amoeba proteus ("Chaos diffluens") and Pelomyxa carolinensis ("Chaos chaos").
That's the first three returned by searching for "Chaos diffluens" "Amoeba proteus" [4]. (I escape with my integument intact now...) Shenme 21:13, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
