Amoeboid movement is a cellular motility process in some eukaryotic microbes, driven by the gel-sol cycling of actin filaments, where fluid soluble actin flows forward to produce temporary membrane extensions called pseudopodia, followed by the remaining cytoplasm flowing up to join the leading edge.
