Amoeba in motion

[richd506]

I'm sure I have this pokemon yet.

[StylaaPommes]

METTINGEN!! ALINAAA!!!

[MrCantu43]

how the FUCK am i suppose to draw that for my project

[awesomeatoon]

Kind of gross...

[MrFocusty]

hey you can advertise your homepage on berksbook for 6months free

[nalatwad]

where does amoeba live ????

[GoddessLinda1]

Amoeba is as amoeba does...... hey, nice amoeba!

[MysteryoftheGods]

Does anyone know how to take video footage like this? Please let me know!

[FlipFlopsXXXXxx]

Typing on an iPad rules...I meant "It looks like a frog"

[FlipFlopsXXXXxx]

Looks like a Rr

[Kr8100]

Amoeba are like the chillest of cells! Love how he'd just taking a stroll.

[Scarmakersfilms]

if that's a microscope how much does it cost because ive never seen one with that much of a great picture or was it computer generated motion of an amoeba.

[ttk022]

Beautiful.

[MAXBLAYLOCK]

It's the Blob!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

[GTHaroFITBMX]

what the f*ck?

[mileycyruscousinchad]

Kill it Kill it with fire!

[bioavi]

Great work! Perfect picture!

Please what lens do you use on your Zeiss Axiolab to capture this video with amoeba?

Thank you very much for help.

Best regards!

[xXIpodsAreMyLifeXx]

that thing is freaky lookin.... we are learning about elodea cells and parameciums in science... i actually saw one of these things.... its scary

[Weraisethenerdyflag]

I love these things, but when I saw how they get their food, I thought it was pretty messed up. I would hate to be one of those poor bastards that gets eaten by an amoeba. I would die as soon as I saw it coming at me. Then again, I doubt their food are as big of pussies as I am.

[skah07]

fuck!! i have this on my body!!

[xMasterJuiceX]

beautiful video

[shoopdawhoop232]

psudopod boner lol

[ashley9398]

It's hard to tell Wich part is the pseupod

[mphello]

The definition of an amoeba of a nontrivial polynomial, p(z1,z2, ..., z(n)), in N complex variables is the image of the set of zeroes of p under the function "Log(z1,z2,...,z(N))" defined as the N-tuple of real nonnegative numbers ( log(abs(z1)),...,log(abs(z(N))­) ). This image looks like physical amoebas.

[mphello]

We never got to study amoeba in 1st-semester microbiology class.

Just too many damned microbes to study in a 1-semester course.

Really wish I could have.

[mphello]

Too many damned organisms on this planet.

[jochan79]

That little zippy organism was like, "catch me if you can!"

[ericthamonkey]

i love the way amoebas move, duh duh duh

i love the way they moove, oh oh oh

i like the way amoebas move,

i love the way, i love the way

[Shinrakoundou17]

Aiiiiigggghhhhttt Amibe Normaaaaal La Phagositoseeeee Sisi !!!!!!

[phantom1000A]

I want a pet amoeba!

[confusedmuffins]

it looks like a frog

[kitty10121998]

i seen one ov those in science class in microscope!!!

[kitty10121998]

i want one!!!!!!!!!!!! :D lol

[vanessalouro]

What is that little fast thing in 0:14 ? I've already seen these things in other videos.

[KAMS1198]

what is that in 0:14 ??

[Dragon86ify]

there goes an UFO @ 0:14

[mer3d1]

Awesome specimen!

[BeepimajeepBeep]

There's an amoeba that digs itself into your brain from a special type of dust, and is 100% fatal, but only there's only a few people who have ever gotten it.

[abpccpba]

Thanks for your work. Is your video in real time?

[pizzaoverlord12345]

From what i see many people are upset of the simplest organism around (aka the amoeba) amoeba are harmless to humans, the one i replied to as well isn't a true amoeba, apparently :P

[duqmiguel]

@pizzaoverlord12345 It is a true Amoeba, but of a variety dangerous to humans, do your research. Two young children died this summer from this type of Amoeba infestion, finding its way into their brains.

[pizzaoverlord12345]

@duqmiguel as a matter of fact, I DID do my research, i have heard of the several death cases caused by this eukaryotic cell. its name is: Naegleria fowleri, and it isn't a true amoeba. Google it and you'll find out, search wikipedia as well. And if you say wikipedia isn't a reliable resource, well a study shows that Wikipedia articles are more accurate than those in the Britannica Encylcopedia (google that too).

[duqmiguel]

@pizzaoverlord12345 Good job! 

[pizzaoverlord12345]

@duqmiguel wait what??? sooo u accept the fact that i might be right? or r u just sayin that sarcastically to continue this very failed argument?

[heroesoftime213]

Now, I know I'll be ridiculed for this, but what IS Amoeba? What does it do when it enters your body?

[duqmiguel]

@heroesoftime213 Good question. If you happen to be swimming or fall into an area of water that supports the proper conditions for an Amoeba to survive. And you find yourself under-water, just long enough for the single-celled Amoeba to find its way into your nasal passage. This organism will move up until it finds itself inside your brain, where it will begin to feed and thrive. If it happens to be a female, well, in most cases of this type of brain infestion, it is 90% fatal for the victim.

[pizzaoverlord12345]

@duqmiguel wat? well actually its only one type of ameoba that "eats" brain cells and even that isn't a true ameoba

[NU13NU13NU13]

THIS AMOEBA IS LIKELY TO CAUSE CYST AND VAGINAL CANCEROUS IN UNFIT WOMEN

[reddenitup]

AMAZING video! Very 3d-like .

[iaureee]

SHITLOADS OF STUFF INSIDE IT, when i was learning about them, never tought hey have so many... dunno in englesh D:

[BarrioPunkRock]

check out Adolescents-Amoeba

[WaveandP]

What is it a germ???

[duqmiguel]

@WaveandP Webster's Dictionary: Germ: A small mass of protoplasm or cells from which a new organism or one of its parts may develop. The earliest form of an organism; a seed, bud, or spore. Something that may serve as the basis of further growth or development.

[MGP98]

FANTASTIC!!!



[ForgotFuckIt]

THIS AMOEBA'S GOT A MIND OF ITS OWN! IVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE!

[TheMida4]

I really wouldn't want that in my body

[NorthForkFisherman]

@TheMida4 You have something very similar: macrophages!

[pugbug8]

Who disliked this video?

[lolmonsterlove]

imagine this with gnarly dubstep in the background.

[XxSaphireassasinsxX]

Puke in motion smh

[rololoo]

Hey who dared to film me??!

[MGP98]

the best protist in the planet the ameba

[indunwood]

0:26

is it me or does that look like a frog?

[AdventuresofFatward]

I can't tell what part is the psutopod!

[jazeee7]

حركة الاميبا بواسطة الاقدام الكاذبه



[mitsukai89]

With what kind of microscope can i get this clear picture?? Or could atleast idenitfy them..

I live in europe and i need a microscope mainly for looking at bacteria and stuff, from my pond and body.

Thinking about getting this one : bressershop.de/pic/5110000_M.j­pg what do you think?

[drralfwagner]

@mitsukai89

I would by a Zeiss standard 14 or 16 via Ebay. Phase contrast is important when you want to identify an amoeba.

Ralf

[mitsukai89]

@drralfwagner

Thank you so much for your reply. What was your resolution in this video? And with which resolution could i identify harmfull bacteria. Thank you..

[mitsukai89]

@drralfwagner

Hi.. i couldnt find any on ebay... How much would a phase contrast microscope cost?

[foozybearz]

@drralfwagner Not many of those available. As I understand it phase contras microsopy involves both a condenser and a phase contrast objective? Would it be possible to purchase these seperately and retrofit a microscope with them? It's hard to justify laying out $600 for a hobby (we can't all be biologists) and unfortunately you can't buy them piece by piece, most come with 3-5 objectives, eyepieces, frame etc.

[secretring97]

I came at 00:23

[TommyGeo101]

it's interesting how the have no circulatory system and they attain the chemicals they need by allowing them to diffuse through the membrane..

[bartoloandre98]

This amoeba rocks.!!!!!

[50pawelcent]

0:22 look it`s on it`s way to evoluate into a frog!

[timeiswhat]

@50pawelcent What? 'evoluate'? You mean 'evolve'? Anyway... A single organism can't evolve; evolution happens over generations and generations! But yeah... It totally looks like a frog there.

[50pawelcent]

@timeiswhat o sorry i not native english speaker ;) and i am aware that an organism cant evolve just like that..

[Dodusman]

@timeiswhat Pokemon evolve instantly!!!

[OfficialDaBest]

what type of microscope is it? It looks really colorfully

[HASSOON7112]

pseudopodia 

[LaRezNar]

thats an alien

[cheeseywafflesfan7]

R. WAGNER :D

[TheGanstaben]

ITS GODZILLA!

[Superdrugsbunny]

I KNOW they dont move this fast. Are they in some special liquid?

[drralfwagner]

@Superdrugsbunny

No, just water.

[MeatfortoeatALT]

@drralfwagner

I've always wanted to know this... What would happen if one were to remove the DNA from an amoeba and replace it with that of a more complex orgaism? Lika a frog or something.

[drralfwagner]

@MeatfortoeatALT

Just try it and you will know!

[elwirox]

@MeatfortoeatALT Would go ribbit and jumping!

[NorthForkFisherman]

@MeatfortoeatALT Craig Venter's Lab has done something similar with a strain of bacteria. The inserted chromosome is entirely artificial, but the cell is still alive. For eukaryotes? Probably wouldn't work. Too many different proteins.

[MeatfortoeatALT]

@NorthForkFisherman That's interesting. I know labs do something similar with E.Coli to prodice insulin for diabetics. Did they remove the existing DNA or just introduce new genetic material?

[NorthForkFisherman]

@MeatfortoeatALT They modified a plasmid and reinserted it. The total net change? One amino acid residue in the insulin gene. Now it doesn't clump nearly as much as normal insulin and gets into the bloodstream faster, Grab a copy of "Molecular Biology Made Simple and Fun" by Clark and Russell and it explains it a lot better than I can in 500 chars.

[katecrausus]

r u a scientists

[MeatfortoeatALT]

@katecrausus

No no, this kind of stuff just peaks my interest.

[jjkul1]

@MeatfortoeatALT That is much easier said than done. Sorry, we are not that advanced... yet!

[kirstykmusic]

@Superdrugsbunny Plus if there was too much water entering it will burst.

[jacobpoelma]

@Superdrugsbunny I know this is a little late, but my bet would be that they are using Protoslo. You add it to water to slow down microbes for observations.

[jacobpoelma]

@Superdrugsbunny I know that this is a little late, but my guess would be that they are using Protoslo. You add a drop of it to water to slow down microbes for observations. I've used it several times in the lab.

[Tiburone15]

imagen it moveing across the room that would take years.

[TeamChaosPk]

At 0:27 it looks like a frog, cool video Amoeba's are pretty awesome, I think Euglenophytes are my favourites though.

[MCkirby666]

IT'S PIKACHU!!!!!!!

[makestuffguy]

I think some of its organelles fell out, because there were what looked like golgi bodies left behind.

[TheGanstaben]

0:14 that was probably some light passing over the lense or sumtin

[xxxjokemasterxxx]

hey today in science we look at these through a microscope

[bertorume]

these things are dangerous and lots of them in lakes if you accidentally suck up water millions of these things can get inside you and start feeding

[bertorume]

these things are dangerous and lots of them in lakes if you accidentall suck up water millions of these things can get inside you and start feeding

[Poprox779]

Had to watch this for my biology class... Lol I was watching it with my best friend and he was like OHMIGOD ITS A UFO!! Hahaha

[keilayefani]

At 0:14 appeared an UFO, I couldn't believe it.... Real, From another world..

[Shikamaru381]

@keilayefani That was another single-celled organism, like amoeba, but a small one

[moneyquickeasy]

can I eat this?

[katischmati]

it´s sooo boring

[supernovalivia31]

it's cool

[piaundjana1]

llooooool wie cool ist ads denn

[mclaron700]

I'm gonna lick it.

[michael9r9r]

weird color 4 a ameoba

[BarrioPunkRock]

this is so exciting

[mariaviolette]

coool!!..may i know what specie is this?

[marcoamartins2]

ufo in 0:14

[mariaviolette]

@marcoamartins2 lol! an orb!

[moneyquickeasy]

@marcoamartins2 LMAO! nice

[jmm1233]

looked like it was trying to form a hand at the top

[da939]

crawling vomit

[bnel890]

its THE BLOB!!!

[EltaninAntenna]

The horror...

[megamariomaster454]

WHO THE FUCK WOULD ACTUALLY WATCH THIS?

[ShaoKahn928]

This amoeba is slower than my crippled grandma!!!

[TheChopstixofdoom]

@ShaoKahn928 dude, it is your old crippled grandma! =D

[nirmalg94]

u know what ?aomeba is immortal.This is because the parent cell divides into 2 by binary fission n hence no dead body is left

[soniaanamarilia]

beautiful!!!

[68sunshine]

Great colors!

[Honey77777777]

today in bio clas we tried to examine them under the microscope... but they always swum out of the light so me and my partner couldn't see any...=/

[1ma0rc0us1]

@Honey77777777 lol



[MIND4eva]

@Honey77777777 Damn those wayward amoebi!

[lentejitaplaza11]

incredible

in science class

[xoticangell]

greta vid!!!

[grassvalleystudios]

looks like it took a shit

[falchel]

it probably did (no seriously).

[grassvalleystudios]

but amoebas don't shit

[falchel]

yes they do because if they eat they shit

[falchel]

no they eat other organisms

[Colibri261]

when it moves, it leaves a useless feeding vacuole (with a digested organism in it) behind. It creates a temporary anus where the feeding vacuole leaves the body, so technically, yeah they shit. sorry for the bad english (dutch) :p

[psycho2061]

i like amoeba they are so random

[soniasmile]

@psycho2061 : i wish you become amoeba next birth if it occurs

[victorcute101]

kool but y does one cell animal do that

[sleepingwhale]

SO beautiful!!!

[crappedNo0B]

what's the small white thingy on the right of the screen from 0:14 to 0:16???

[maxHipburn]

the small one on the right that runs so fast is my spermcell in action looking for an eggsperm victim.

[TheBestGuitarSoloEVR]

Just a little paramesium.

[lordsfriend1]

i wonder what it would be like being one of those?

[EyeLean5280]

Everything would be very simple: Search for food; eat food; excrete waste; divide; repeat.

[m2kronic]

you forgot the most important thing... to MATE. lol

[MisterBelvedere]

Sounds a lot like human life...

[elsmel56]

boring?

[EyeLean5280]

Not to an amoeba.

[FyerEgg]

Wow! So cool!

Why does it look like it has more then 1 cell though?

[kraaiekop]

what is a amoeba

[RyanatorML2000]

Can amoebae conjugate?

[EyeLean5280]

I believe they divide, but perhaps they conjugate first to exchange genes - I'm pretty sure some one-celled animals do that.

[7Row7enn7]

If one amoeba cmes into contact with another, will they try to kill or eat each other... or what?

[Ohlyop]

That's so beautiful in it's own way.

[minichuaman]

why do they move so slow?...

[TristanIAM]

Took the shape of a frog for a while.

[smg86]

great!
