Reminds me of heartworms, which have endosymbiotic bacteria, without which they are weaker, so treating the bacteria has become an important part of treating heartworms in dogs...also reminds me of the relatively recent SciShow Tangents ep about homes, where Ceri points out that the most common type of home used by organisms is, in fact, the living bodies of other organisms.
Excellent episode and footage. The astomatids look amazing. I used to feel sad that I'd likely never see alien life but the beautiful creatures you showcase may as well be aliens.

I'm a calcareous nannopaleontologist. I was wondering if you could look at extant nannoplankton? I would love to see some living E. Huxleyi. Everything I've looked at has been dead fossils in smear slides (Norlands 61). I use a Leica 720P at 1000x magnification. Best with an Leica HCS Apo oil objective. I have no idea what you would need to view extant species. Probably the same but keeping them contained under the cover slip is a methodology I am unfamiliar with. Actually the more I think about this - You might need to back off on the magnification. I look at coccoliths/nannoliths which are about 5-10 microns in size. An extant species is a full coccosphere, so at least 60 microns in diameter. Maybe a mag of 600-800x?
@@gb7168 In pets, to find demodex you gotta dig pretty hard, as they live deep in the follicles. We actually 'scrape' them out with blunted scalpel blades - squeeze the skin to force the follicular contents up and then remove the top layer of skin down to the bleeding dermis with the blade. Or we used to, when we used to go looking for them. These days, you often skip that step and just put the pet in question on high-quality tick prevention, because it treats mites really well too...
We did consider it! We still do consider it! The thing is I don't have them on my face, and I don't have friends who would let me sample their face! :D -James

This video about parasitic worms, reminded me of the worms inside some fish that we consume. My father was (before he retired) an offshore fisherman, on the east coast of Canada, and would catch many different fish throughout the year. He would sometimes bring home a few fish to fillet, salt and dry and would always warn me about the worms that inhabited manly Cod (not their intestines though, but rather the muscles/meat), we would have to look for them after the fish pieces were dry, because it was nearly impossible to see them in the fish beforehand. I know you guys usually look at microscopic specimens taken from water, rather than other bigger specimens, however, I think it would be interesting to watch a video about the parasitic worms that inhabit the fish we eat and why they camp out in the muscles rather than the intestines.
All those beautiful cilia moving in synchronicity. Managed by a single cell. Now THATS nanotechnology of the highest caliber. I wonder how many nuclei are inside.
I have seen a free swimming smaller stentor checking out the opening of an anchored stentor so many times that I do not believe this is a chance operation in the microworld. I think the smaller versions are somehow drawn to the fixed stentor for some purpose other than chance.

Excellent video. I love it, and learned a lot. But I do have one (non-microbiology-related) nitpick. You said that the most common hosts of astomatid ciliates are annelids, but listed mollusks, amphibians, and leeches as exception. However, leeches are a type of annelids: this has been confirmed by genetic studies, but they can also be easily recognized as such by the rings on their body (informing their phylum name) homologous to the rings on the outside of an earthworm or the segments on a polychaete. Still, excellent video and keep up the good work! Also, sending my best wishes to Hank following his recent diagnosis
I dislike the heavy use of the word worm in this video. Vermiform, the worm looking body plan, is the better term to teach here. This video makes references to "worm" ciliates, "worm" annelids and "worm" nematodes.
hey @Journey to the Microcosmos can you move the organism name & magnification details down a couple centimeters? When I watch the videos in immersive mode that text is cut off a little on my s21
Great I already have a complex about disappointing family and friends. Now I have the pressure of figuring out how the please this complex nesting box of billions of lives inside me that need care, feeding, and support.
How do you know they used to have mouths? Have you found an intermediate form with a mouth, or are you guessing? Do some regrow mouths when they are outside the worm?

That little 'Wookie Worm' is cute as a button... regardless of how it lives.
There may not always be a bigger fish but there's usually a smaller parasite.

my parasite phobia vs my need to watch every episode of this show 🥺😓
It sounds like they almost become like cells in the host body.
This world really is a fractal isn't it?
I feel that Hank in this video is becoming less soothing and back to his usual feisty persona
Parasites living inside parasites inside parasites inside a worm. Like landlords renting from each other
It's endosymbiotes all the way down.
All those beautiful cilia moving in synchronicity. Managed by a single cell. Now THATS nanotechnology of the highest caliber. I wonder how many nuclei are inside.
Hank Green is UA-cam's most notable practicing Wormist
This video is just awesome, not only because the topic is so interesting, but also because its perfectly done!
An organism inside an organism inside an organism... it's Endosymbionts All The Way Down
Ah, osmotrophy, is this what people that live on light and air use to feed themselves as well?
🤣👏🤣👏👏
I saw one of these stringy gut worms outside a hotel in Denmark. I took a video of it writhing and then I turned it into its constituent D.N.A.
I have seen a free swimming smaller stentor checking out the opening of an anchored stentor so many times that I do not believe this is a chance operation in the microworld. I think the smaller versions are somehow drawn to the fixed stentor for some purpose other than chance.
I don't understand a lot of what Hank's saying, but I still love this channel and his voice is sooooooooo relaxing. 👌🏻
Not all worms are bad parasites. I like the annelids.
idk why but, the worm undulating had me thinking. at what point in the micro cosmos do we start to see simple nervous tissue/systems?

would liek to see variety of mites or little creatures that live on and in humans
You guys have to find that “Brain Eating” Amoeba!!!!
That would make for a great episode!
Love your serious voice. And the various topics covered.
Wow. It's just endosymbionts all the way down
a Flea
Hath smaller Fleas that on him prey,

That makes me itch inside.

Sorry I need to make a correction @journeytothemicrocosm:
Leaches aren't only a type of worm, but the are indeed an annelid worm
so it wasnt turtles all the way down
it was worms...

Hey, I'm not able to see any config. Options on this video... la it something with the channel ir is it something with UA-cam?
So what kind of worms are you showing in this video? Earthworms? Helminths?
How do you know they used to have mouths? Have you found an intermediate form with a mouth, or are you guessing? Do some regrow mouths when they are outside the worm?
If i were to hazard a guess I’d say maybe they looked at their ancestors, like remains of them
