A small colony on a slide

#1 Post by microplan » Tue Dec 07, 2021 9:24 am

Hello.

I have had an artificial environment in a plastic bucket for some time.
I don't pay much attention to it, but from time to time I take a sample and look at it through a microscope.
It looks like the environment is poor because I get the same microorganisms all the time.
Today, a few minutes from the life of the colony

Hi Greg.
Thanks for the good opinion.
But in my humble opinion you have nothing to regret.
The meeting was modest and the proceedings ended tragically anyway.

A busy little gathering! It's a "pseudocolony" of solitary peritrichs (gregarious critters, but each one has its own unbranching contractile stalk). We don't see the stalks very clearly, so they could be vorticellids (Vorticella, Pseudovorticella) or zoothamniids (Haplocaulus).

Hello

Bruce Taylor, thank you for your time.
I am not a biologist, so I do not know the names of these microorganisms.
Let me just say, thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I suspect that I will not remember it anyway, but I will try. :D

regards

That's a good way to study microorganisms. Try adding some plant material like leaves or grass from outside--even if frozen. You could increase the variety.
