Microbiologists often use the terms “amoeboid” and “amoeba” interchangeably for any organism that exhibits amoeboid movement. The food sources of amoebae vary. Some amoebae are predatory and live by consuming bacteria and other protists. Amoebae typically ingest their food by phagocytosis, extending pseudopods to encircle and engulf live prey or particles of scavenged material. #microbiology #microbiologist #microbiologylab #explorepage #bacteriology #microbe #science #molecularbiology #kesfet #
