I'm no biologist, but I think it's a virus which infects amoeba. By definition, viruses aren't alive, and amoebas are.

- shanxS 7y ago> By definition, viruses aren't alive, and amoebas are. Interesting, I thought we don't have a definition for "alive".
- dekhn 7y agoThere's no universally accepted definition but most biologists would say that viruses are not alive because they lack metabolism.
- DoctorOetker 7y agoright they are "not alive", but do have a "life cycle". How else would one define what a single log reduction (one tenth of virus particles surviving) means per given "UV dose" or fluence.
