Do amoeboid cells move with flagella?

No they do not. That is the difference between the three types of motility in bacteria. There is gliding among Toxoplasma gondii. Amoeboid movement in which the polymerization/depolymerization of actin leads to the formation of pseudopodia, filopodia and/or lamellipodia that enable the cell to crawl along a surface is second. The last form of movement is flagellar.
