An amoeba eating a human cell Live confocal microscopy time lapse demonstrating that bites of human cell material are internalized by the amoebae. Ingestion of bites occurs while human Jurkat cells are viable and ceases once they are dead. Human cells were pre-labeled with DiI (red; cell membrane), Flou4 (green; intracellular Ca2 ); and SYTOX blue (blue; nucleic acid in permeable cells) was present in the media during imaging. Images were collected every 30 seconds and are played back at 1 frame

Vampyrella Amoeba Eating Spirogyra Time-lapse light microscopy footage of a Vampyrella lateritia trophozoite (center) attached to and feeding on a strand of Spirogyra algae (tubular). Vampyrella is a unicellular micro-organism sometimes described as a "vampire amoeba". It attacks other microscopic organisms, such as algae, and penetrates their cell walls and extracts the contents (green). The complete process of cell wall penetration, suction and extraction is shown in this clip. Vampyrella are
