Жизнь и смерть микроорганизмов в объективе доктора наук

Доктор наук из Института Океанологии Флориды (США) несколько лет изучает микроорганизмы и делится короткими видео из их жизни в своём Instagram.

Microbes are literally everywhere, and some are in exotic locations. These Ciliates however were collected from rain water in a container left out in my garden. The sample was filling with fallen leaf litter and algae. These single cell eukaryotes are in the genus Stylonychia, and they have long specialized cilia that look awesome. These cells are full of ingested orange spheres, and my hypothesis is they are pollen spores.. but I will entertain other theories below ? ?. 200x DIC #ciliate #protist #protozoa #orange #pollen #spore #mold #cell #garden #cilia #pondlife #microbe #microbiology #science #research #algae #hypothesis #dispersal #rainwater #eukaryote #cellbiology #creature #wildlife #ecology #food #ootd #sphere #bio

Хантер Хайнс (Hunter Hines) специализируется на инфузориях, которым и посвящена большая часть публикаций. Также в его публикациях есть бактерии, рачки, тихоходки и прочие микроорганизмы.

Here is a view of an adorable Tardigrade crawling on a slide magnified 200x. This cute microbial eukaryote is a tough animal with claws, known as a “water bear”. Famous for their resilience, I picked this one off a freshwater microbial mat in Florida. Viewed with brightfield microscopy. #tardigrade #tardigrades #waterbear #creature #microbe #cute #adorable #bear #claws #animal #wildlife #pondlife #microbiology #space #science #phd #alien #nature #biodiversity #wildlife #microscopic #micro #florida #life #biotechnology #microscope #earth #species

This is a species of ciliate in the genus Frontonia. A single cell protist. The ciliate is densely packed with green symbiotic algae. The cell has extrusomes, which are being discharged here. The cell is lysing, and therefore the algae cells are excreted. The trichocysts are black when viewed here with 400x phase contrast microscopy. #ciliate #frontonia #algae #symbiont #symbiotic #algal #green #cellbiology #cell #protist #protozoa #micro #microbiology #jellyfish #lyse #invertebrate #pondlife #cilia #microscopy #nature #wildlife #biology #ecosystem #symbiosis #ecology #freshwater #research #toxic #scienceexperiment

This cool microscopic animal is a Gastrotrich. This multicellular eukaryote is colored blue by the breakdown of pigments of other microbes it has consumed. Ever seen one this color before?

This hypnotic roundworm is an integral part of soil communities. The nematode here is a bacterial feeder, based on the morphology and type of mouth parts. Viewed with 100x DIC microscopy and collected from a soil sample culture. Ciliates are the small swimming creatures surrounding. #nematode #nematodes #roundworm #worm #worms #soil #soilscience #soils #gardening #farming #organicfarming #microbiology #science #ecology #livingsoil #bacteria #microbe #animal #feeding #parasite #catchoftheday #soilfoodweb #hypnotic #oddlysatisfying #worm #soilhealth #microscopy #wildlife

This microbial flatworm has eaten so much that it has altered its morphology, giving it a unique dinosaur like shape. An important aspect to keep in mind when making identifications in the micro world, many things can eat themselves into unrecognizable shapes… 40x brightfield microscopy #worm #worms #dinosaur #microbe #microbes #microbial #ecology #flatworm #full #feeding #fat #morphology #elegant #shape #wildlife #ecosystem #algae #contortion #pondlife #freshwater #florida #wormhole #nature #stretch #gross #stuffed #alien #science #microbiology

Хайнс проводит свои иследования в тропических водных экосистемах, в таких, например, как пруды Флориды (США). Согласно сайту Института Океанологии Флориды, учёный открыл несколько новых видов микроорганизмов в США и Африке.
