Ameba in a sentence as a noun

Citing from your 1st reference:> Naegleria fowleri infects people when water containing the ameba enters the body through the nose.

Some examples from the book:> Below the world of worms and burrowing snails we may consider microscopic creatures like the ameba, who oozes along by pushing out lobes or ruffles of his single cell protoplasm and just flowing into them.

So the consensus of opinion now is that the ameba advances somewhat as does an oriental king, by having his carpet swiftly unrolled before him as he walks, then as nimbly rerolled behind for further unrolling ahead.> Another method of microbe locomotion, up to several hundred times faster but still slow in human terms, is that of flagella or bacilli with tails.
