Introduction

Amoeba are single celled organisms that are found in every major eukaryotic linage. They are eukaryotic organisms that are defined by their lack of cell walls and the ppresence of pseudopods. While amoeba exsist in many different linages, the only 'true' amoeba are ones that are in the taxa Amoebozoa.
They live in the water, soil, and air of a number of diverse ecosystems. They are oten predators that consume fungi and bacteria and aid with the recycling of nutrients.

The topic must include one section about microbes (bacteria, viruses, fungi, or protists). This is easy because all organisms and ecosystems have microbes.

Compose a title for your page.
Type your exact title in the Search window, then press Go. The MicrobeWiki will invite you to create a new page with this title.

Open the BIOL 116 Class 2024 template page in "edit."
Copy ALL the text from the edit window.
Then go to YOUR OWN page; edit tab. PASTE into your own page, and edit.

Section 1 Genetics

Section titles are optional.
[1] Include some current research, with at least one image. Call out each figure by number (Fig. 1).

Sample citations: [1] [2]

A citation code consists of a hyperlinked reference within "ref" begin and end codes.

[3]

For multiple use of the same inline citation or footnote, you can use the named references feature, choosing a name to identify the inline citation, and typing [4]

[4]

Second citation of Ref 1: [1]

Here we cite April Murphy's paper on microbiomes of the Kokosing river. [5]

Section 2 Microbiome

Include some current research, with a second image.

Here we cite Murphy's microbiome research again.[5]

Conclusion

You may have a short concluding section. Overall, cite at least 5 references under References section.
