Earthworms also stimulate microbial activity by increasing soil aeration and moisture, and transporting litter into the ground where it becomes available to other soil fauna.

Earthworms also form an important part of the diet, especially in the spring.

Earthworms can also act as a paratenic host.

Earthworms typically live in various types of soil or mud, as well as organic matter such as compost or even feces.

Earthworms " till " the soil, and their worm castings are among the best fertilizers and soil conditioners.

After cracking the spore coat, further development involves cell division, but not necessarily the development of a multicellular organism ( for example in the free-living amoebas of slime molds ).

Amongst many other living organisms, some gigantic single-celled amoebas with a size of more than 4 inches ( 10 centimeters ), belonging to the class of xenophyophores were observed.

Dr. Thomas Dean Pollard applied this model at the NIH, Harvard Medical School, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and the Salk Institute for Biological Studies to discover and characterize many proteins that are essential for cell motility, not only in amoebas, but also in many other eukaryotic cells, especially those of the human nervous and immune systems, the developing embryo, and cancer cells.

In 1966, Fowler termed the infection resulting from N. fowleri primary amoebic meningoencephalitis ( PAM ) to distinguish this central nervous system ( CNS ) invasion from other secondary invasions caused by other true amoebas such as Entamoeba histolytica.

The amoebas that cause dysentery can also be sexually transmitted during mouth-to-anus contact.

Most references to " amoebas " or " amoebae " are to amoeboids in general rather than to the specific genus Amoeba.

The shells of amoebas are often composed of calcium.

As amoebas themselves are polyphyletic and subject to some imprecision in definition, the term " amoeboid " does not provide identification of an organism, and is better understood as description of locomotion.

Instead The Far Side used a wide variety of characters including humans, monsters, aliens, chickens, cows, worms, amoebas and more.

For a time during the first half of the 20th century the entire genus Entamoeba was transferred to Endamoeba, a genus of amoebas infecting invertebrates about which little is known.

This is how amoebas move, as well as some cells found in animals, such as white blood cells.

When the amoebas inside the bowel of an infected person are ready to leave the body, they group together and form a shell that surrounds and protects them.

This group of amoebas is known as a cyst.

The amoebas inside the cyst are protected from the stomach's digestive acid.

From the stomach, the cyst will travel to the intestines where it will break open and release the amoebas, causing the infection.

The amoebas are able to burrow into the walls of the intestines and cause small abscesses and ulcers to form.

These giant protozoans seem to feed in a manner similar to amoebas, enveloping food items with a foot-like structure called a pseudopodium.

; Tslek: The " Blobs ", they resemble giant amoebas, although they must have a more complex internal structure.

Though they are a higher form of multi-cellular life and are approximately as intelligent as human beings, Dralasite have some similarities to amoebas in that they have no bones or hard body parts.

Buds are immobile, but are actively carried by special mobile cells, called phorocytes-" carrier cells ", shaped like amoebas.

Sweetener, flavouring, colouring, fruit or vegetables are then added and the liquid is poured into molds to be served as desserts and vegetable aspics, or incorporated with other desserts, such as a jelly layer in a cake.

These other metals and their alloys can be cold-worked, or melted in simple pottery kilns and cast in molds ; but smelted iron requires hot-working and can be melted only in specially designed furnaces.

Fungi and other organisms traditionally recognized as fungi, such as oomycetes and myxomycetes ( slime molds ), often are economically and socially important as some cause diseases of animals ( such as histoplasmosis ) as well as plants ( such as Dutch elm disease and Rice blast ).

For example, slime molds secrete cyclic adenosine monophosphate upon starvation, stimulating individual cells in the immediate environment to aggregate, and yeast cells use mating factors to determine the mating types of other cells and to participate in sexual reproduction.

When the coconut fruit is still green, the husk is very hard, but green coconuts only fall if they have been attacked by molds or other blights.

The company specialized in " pressed glass ," tableware, and other glass products made from molds.

This is essentially true of Oriental molds made of other substances, such as bamboo.

The Matchbox brand name, some tooling and molds and other assets were then sold to Universal Toys and Mr. David Yeh.

Dissimilar from other snow molds, such as gray snow mold, Microdochium nivale does not need snow cover to cause widespread infection.

Penicillium camemberti and Penicillium roqueforti are the molds on Camembert, Brie, Roquefort, and many other cheeses.

Other soil species that contribute include insects, other worms and molds.

The melting pot was equated with either the acculturation or the total assimilation of European immigrants, and the debate centered on the differences between these two ways of approaching immigration: " Was the idea to melt down the immigrants and then pour the resulting, formless liquid into the preexisting cultural and social molds modeled on Anglo-Protestants like Henry Ford and Woodrow Wilson, or was the idea instead that everyone, Mayflower descendants and Sicilians, Ashkenazi and Slovaks, would act chemically upon each other so that all would be changed, and a new compound would emerge?

Other toy molds from other companies such as Bandai were used as well.

Like other cellular slime molds, they live most of their life as single cells, but will sometimes assemble into a larger cluster.

A mash of water, steamed glutinous rice, and other grains is inoculated with rice that has already been cultivated with the mold Aspergillus oryzae or molds of the Rhizopus genus and certain strains of Lactobacillus.

The mycetozoan groups all fit into the unikont supergroup Amoebozoa, whereas most other slime molds fit into various bikont groups ( fonticulids are opisthokonts ).

There are excellent examples of almost every variety of basaltic lava as well as tree molds ( cavities left by lava-incinerated trees ), lava tubes ( a type of cave ), and many other volcanic features.

Slime molds syncitia form from individual amoeboid cells, like syncitial tissues of some multicellular organisms, not the other way round.

Thus, burrows, trackways, trails and borings are all examples of biogenic structures, but not casts or molds of dead shells or other bodily remains.

A Moldmaker ( mouldmaker in British English ) or molder is a skilled trades worker who makes molds for use in metalworking and other manufacturing industries.

The advantages of plastic scintillators include fairly high light output and a relatively quick signal, with a decay time of 2 – 4 nanoseconds, but perhaps the biggest advantage of plastic scintillators is their ability to be shaped, through the use of molds or other means, into almost any desired form with what is often a high degree of durability.

When Hasbro discontinued the G1 My Little Pony line in 1992, some pony molds fell into the hands of other toy companies, who made their own " pony " toys.
