Booting the final version 5.3 of Andy #Tanenbaum's #amoeba distributed OS in #qemu (32 bit x86). Just because (and we had a discussion on capabilities...).

3D structure of the social amoeba genome sheds light on the transition to multicellularity

The vampyrellid amoeba #Strigomyxa ruptor gen. et sp. nov. and its remarkable strategy to acquire algal cell contents https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ece3.70191

"The microscopic predator engulfs #algae, drains the cells and spits out the shell"

Costs of being a diet generalist for the #protist predator #Dictyostelium discoideum https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2313203121

"The #amoebae prey on a very diverse group of #bacteria. But when they switch from one bacteria to another, there's a physiological cost."
