canonloader Cream of the Crop  More info | Mar 10, 2012 07:09 | #1 Fed my microbes some activated dry yeast this week and it put lead in their pencil for several days.
2. A Chain of Bacteria.
3. A double Heliozoa, sharing food, not DNA, as I first thought.
4. A Scuticociliate scooting around.

Mar 12, 2012 16:08 | #9 Thanks Linda. #3 is two Heliozoa that have come together to swap food, not DNA as I thought. I have other shots of up to 4 or maybe 5 individuals that have melded together to share an abundance of food, in the form of yeast that I added to the water they are in. They love it. What is most amazing is, they can do this, then divide again into the same number of individuals as originally melded together. I find that fascinating. Mitch- ____...^.^...____

Mar 12, 2012 18:32 | #11 Thanks Ryan. I really wish I had a more powerful lens to see these bacteria with. They are quite a bit smaller than almost anything else I find to shoot, but very interesting to study. Mitch- ____...^.^...____

Mar 13, 2012 06:56 | #15 Thanks for looking everybody. Qbx wrote in post #14074775  Nice captures there. Are these phase-contrast? What equipment are you using? Yes, all images are phase contrast with a Nikon Fluophot scope, using a 40x phase contrast lens. A new acquisition that I am very happy with. bcd01 wrote in post #14074897 I am not sure I like your friends! But they look pretty, nice shots They are all harmless. Even beneficial, as all but the bacteria will eat the harmful kind and turn them back into their component particles, which are not harmful to anything. Bacterial chains are very common and interesting, but small. I wish I had a more powerful lens to see them with. Mitch- ____...^.^...____
