It has ingested quite a few sorts of algae, which shine on this mild. It’s lower than 300 microns in size. The lengthy strand is cyanobacteria. That is life on the backside of […]

[ad_1] A number of the Tardigrade movies I publish make the little microbe look awkward in a drop of water on a glass slide. Here’s a extra life like view of two Tardigrades transferring round a microbial mat (of cyanobacteria) they’re feeding on, with issues for his or her legs and claws to seize on […]

[ad_1] A timelapse video exhibiting a number of sorts of microbes shifting in a single drop of water. At middle is a transparent bare amoeba. Cyanobacteria like Oscillatoria additionally glides previous among the many filaments. Single diatoms transfer throughout the slide. Bacillaria are the stacked colonies of diatoms which slide alongside one another. Magnified 200x […]

[ad_1] Here’s a flatworm within the class Turbellaria, a Platyhelminthes. Though some varieties will be a whole lot of millimeters in size, this one is simply 1mm. It has two distinct eyespots, and a pharynx behind them. These creatures can transfer shortly with cilia, however right here it’s simply squishing round. From a freshwater Florida […]

[ad_1] Here’s a time lapse video of a microbial mat in a single water drop. You possibly can see it’s comprised of assorted species of Cyanobacteria and different filamentous micro organism. These creatures actively transfer, and are widespread meals for Tardigrades. I collected this from a freshwater spring and enlarge 400x with Section microscopy, sped […]
