Found a bunch of different organisms from one drop of water from the stream in our backyard. Not sure of the ID on one of them.

Re: Various Freshwater Microbes
Nice collection! I particularly enjoyed the Lacrymaria footage.
The one labelled Loxophyllum is actually a very flexible hypotrich ciliate (cirri visible at the posterior, AZM faintly visible, contractile vacuole in the characteristic hypotrich position).
