  • FW Ciliate 01 A large freshwater ciliate of some sort -- might be something Loxodes-like but I can't make out any gravity-sensing Müller's vesicles, and I think the shape is a little off. Ciliates are insanely diverse, and it's a bit overwhelming to learn to identify them... (edit: Litonotus sp.) The two fairly large finely granular bodies are the somatic macronuclei. Ciliates carry two genomes: a transcriptionally silent one stored in the small micronuclei and a highly modified, polyploid transcriptionally-active variant stored in the much larger macronuclei. A pair of contractile vacuoles are also visible at opposite ends of the cell, as well as an algal prey in a digestive vacuole. Not sure what the random smaller vesicles and those long narrow inclusions are; the latter might be trichocysts or some weird bacteria, or perhaps none of the above. The mouth should be towards the right end of the cell (from our perspective). Freshwater, Apr 2011, Vancouver

  • Unidentified Ciliates I am usually wrong with my identifications, and in this case I don't have a clue where to even start, other than to say they are some kind of Protist ciliate. I just call them smurfs. They are usually zipping about so fast that you can't possibly get an image of them, but these guys seem to be clustered around a bit of food. Several of them are in various stages of cell division. Maybe that makes them docile, at least enough to get a few minutes worth of video of them.

  • Wastewater Ciliates Seen here is a sample from a wastewater treatment plant in Southeast Wisconsin. The organism in the center of the screen is a rotifer, which feed on small clumps of bacteria. This rotifer species is possibly Lecane, which can feed on Microthrix parvicella or other filamentous bacteria. The ciliates swimming around it could be either Paramecium bursaria, which tolerate high concentrations of ammonium and low levels of oxygen; or Glaucoma scintillans, which are usually observed in the first stages of the system. They are fast swimmers and can also tolerate low oxygen.

  • Protozoa Ciliate Division by Equal Binary Fission in HD This video shows a protozoan ciliate in the process of dividing. This ciliate protozoan was found in amongst a floating algal mass floating on the surface of a fresh water pond in the Bitterroot Valley of western Montana. Note the cilia beating at the edge of the organism. I am not an expert in identifying protozoa, so if anyone can pin down the Genus and species, it would be nice to know. Comments on the video are welcome.
  • Ciliate Binary Fission I spotted this large ciliate (Oxytricha?) in the process of binary fission when looking at a sample from an infusion of dried grass (about 10 days old). As can be seen, the ciliates divide transversally. Besides a small number of these ciliates, the sample contains a large number of rotifers and quite a few small amoebas.

  • Ciliates, Rotifers And Worms, Oh My This video starts out with an unidentified ciliate that resembles a Paramecium. Then continues with Stylonychia, Chaetonotus gastrotricha and several species of Rotifers. The sample was taken from my microbe aquarium, which has been running since early November of 2010 with no air pump, filter or dedicated light. When I started it, I added three small sample jars of Mississippi River water and a small bunch of hornwort plants from the pet shop. It has kept me in viewing samples all winter and is still going strong.
  • Ciliates A collection of sessile (fixed to something) ciliates. These are single celled organisms that attach to twigs, rocks etc in the aquatic environment and feed by sweeping food particles from the water with beating, hair-like cilia. These are all freshwater species. Despite being sessile they are surprisingly active. Species include: Vorticella (0:12 & 1:16), Stentor (0:50), Vaginicola (1:00). Some clips are faster than normal speed.
