Hello,
We've been studiyng hay infusions in Biology class for a few weeks, and I found something which my teacher didn't recognize. Since we'll present our results on Friday, I would be very glad if anyone of you could tell me the name of this microbe.
The pictures are bad, as they are taken with my rather unstable hand, using an Iphone camera, but I hope they will suffice. The thing I'm asking about is located just below the middle of the pictures. It had about five "grapes" hanging behind it, and they were clearly attached to the microbe, since they hanged on when it moved around.
Any ideas or comments would be appreciated!

Re: ID Hay Infusion
Hi Joab,
I think the reason you didn't get any responses is that the image is not sufficiently clear to allow identification. A shot in the dark: if you remember how it was moving, perhaps you can watch videos of bdelloid rotifers and see if you think it might be one.

Hi Gekko,
Thank you for your reply! Yeah, the bad quality of the images limits the possibility of the identification, I'm aware of that. I will check that rotifer. If I can't identify it, at least it can be a task for my class at the presentation!
