Giant viruses may be more alive than we thought
A giant virus encodes part of the protein-making toolkit of cells that gives it greater control over its amoeba host, raising questions about how it evolved and how such beings relate to living organi ...
Amoebae, single-celled organisms common in soil, water and grade-school science classrooms, may play a key role in the survival and spread of deadly plague bacteria. New research shows that plague ...

Amoebae: The microscopic health threat lurking in our water supplies. Are we taking them seriously?
There’s a sinister health threat we’re not taking seriously enough, a new paper argues – and it’s not a virus, bacterium, nor even a fungus. It’s the amoebae, free-living organisms that can survive ...
Researchers have learned that the bacterium that causes bovine tuberculosis, called Mycobacterium bovis, is able to survive and grow in a type of single-celled organism called an amoeba, that lives in ...
Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus (APMV) and subsequently discovered giant viruses of amoebae challenge the previous definition of viruses and their classification. The replication cycle, structure, ...
The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum is a powerful social study system because of the hard work of generations of cell and molecular biologists who have figured out many of the mechanisms of its ...
image: Reconstitution of Amoebozoa's evolution shows significant Precambrian species diversity. This study changes the view of how life evolved in the very remote past and deepens the understanding of ...
Human norovirus and adenovirus, two major causes of viral gastroenteritis, can persist for extended periods inside free-living amoebas that are common in natural and engineered water systems. A newly ...
The drama of predators vs. prey—hunting, stalking, fleeing—isn't limited to the animal kingdom. Underneath our feet, hungry amoebae in the soil pursue and eat bacteria in a microscopic wild kingdom.
Amoebae, single-celled organisms common in soil, water and grade-school science classrooms, may play a key role in the survival and spread of deadly plague bacteria. New Colorado State University ...
