Getting Beyond the Royal Rotifer

#1 Post by DonSchaeffer » Mon Oct 31, 2022 10:11 pm

When I first starting culturing and viewing microbes, my samples were pretty diverse. I had lots of amoebas and varied protists. Over the last few months, the rotifer has become by far dominant in my water samples. My recent addition of fresh leaves and grass has increased diversity a little but did not much. I used to find a cover of biofilm on my sample, but I can no longer get a biofilm cover to form.
