'''Amoebas''' are varied tiny unicellular [[organism]]s. They were classified as [[protozoa]]ns of the [[genus]] '''Amoeba''' or related genera, but are now known to be part of the Unikonts. They have no solid form, instead consisting of a mass of [[protoplasm]] containing one or more [[nuclei]] surrounded by a flexible outer [[membrane]]. Most amoebae live in soil and are [[anaerobic]]. They move by means of [[pseudopod]]s formed by fibronectin. Some amoeba are parasites that cause amoebic dysentery and some forms of septicaemia. | '''Amoebas''' are varied tiny unicellular [[organism]]s.
