The correct way of writing a biological name as per the code of nomenclature is ‘Amoeba proteus’.

In binomial nomenclature, the genus name starts with a capital letter, and the species name starts with a small letter. Both names are typically italicized or underlined.

This system of nomenclature was largely developed by Carl Linnaeus. It provides a unique and internationally recognized name for each species. When handwritten, the genus and species names are usually underlined separately; when printed, they are typically italicized.
