| | How to identify an amoeba: brief introduction |
 | | Cut of a small block of agar with one amoeba or one cyst with a scalpel or a needle with flattened end. | | | It is very important to avoid depressement of amoebae with the coverslip, as this influence sufficiently on the locomotive form and may result in misidentification. | | | For amoebae which are non-numerous in culture the following approach may be useful (Smirnov and Goodkov, 1994). |

| | Amoeba (also spelled ameba) is a genus of protozoa that moves by means of temporary projections called pseudopods, and is well-known as a representative unicellular organism. | | | However, because of the ease with which they may be obtained and kept in the lab, they are common objects of study, both as representative protozoa and to demonstrate cell structure and function. | | | The word amoeba is variously used to refer to it and its close relatives, now grouped as the Amoebozoa, or to all protozoa that move using pseudopods, otherwise termed amoeboids. |

| | Applying Amoeba to Increase Profit |
| | In particularly, it fails to consider that the profit obtained at the best vertex in its simplex may change over time -- it (falsely) believes that the best vertex is an ever-sharper needle sitting in a ever-deepening trough in the profit landscape. | | | The situation becomes more interesting when the producer uses amoeba in a market in which the consumers learn their own valuations by sampling items and updating their estimates via Eq. | | | Leakage is thwarted because the modified amoeba briefly lowers its prices to recapture disenfranchised consumers, and then raises them again to enjoy increased profits from consumers who have learned again to appreciate the value of the producer's wares. |
