- This is a world where microbes are both residents and food, which means that occasionally, we’ll have to spend our time together watching organisms, whose bodies are fractions upon fractions upon fractions of a millimeter in size, turn into vicious predators.

I was able to film rotifers eating only once. My rotifers always walk and swim. They seem healthy though, Maybe they are well fed all the time so they don't need to eat much.😁 Thanks for the video!
From my observations, it could just be that they are actually eating while filter feeding and it is hard to notice anything entering their food vacuole. When they contract is when they seem to be "swallowing" the food they have sucked in.
But either way, they are so fun to watch!
@@mupetmower7807 Rotifers are multicellular, they have no food vacuole, they have a stomach.
I failed at a gram stain last week, so good job you are a winner for sure
What kind of microscope do you use
@@katz-o5k we all have food vacuoles
Hank waxing poetic about buttholes was everything I didn’t know I needed! 😂
Man comes in a bar: I'll have a glass of domesticated microbes.
My first day at the ww treatment plant my boss pointed to the aeration basin and said these are your 1 billion coworkers
😂 @@coolergappney1943
@@coolergappney1943 hell yeah
I believe we have domesticated yeast. I'm not sure how long ago it was that we really started selectively cultivating different yeasts for different tastes in beers and wines, but I would say that is when domestication started. We've always known about yeast but it's always been wild yeast. Go gather some berries, stuff them in a jar and they ferment. I really don't know how long ago it was that we started purposely trying to breed different strains of yeast but I know there are some strains that can tolerate a lot higher alcohol content than any wild yeast can. For a while it was all just the same yeast. Bakers would go to the local Brewer and get their leftover remains and use that as yeast to raise their bread with. I know if you try to use baking yeast for making beer, it doesn't work very well or doesn't taste very good anyways. It will still work, just not as good as some specifically bred ale yeasts for example.
Not always, but it coincides with.just before pulation growth started, containers where important i'd guess. Asian regions have beenearly in this but also the ability to make "water" drinkable. Like the the black death was defenatly a bottleneck for population growth and inadequate hygiene adaptions. But the "slow" progression rate of tool use make the the first accidental discovery and then trial and error more believable in my mind. Not that we are smarter then people from 2000000 years ago or something, just time trial and error, more tools and more people. And the invention of writhing or documention that's the biggest one. You could hava 1 frame memory and prgress, with brewing it's just timing, the right environment, the container, yeast and it's food.
The ability to recycle or retrieve the yeast seems the important one, but containers where the Kickstarter. The rest seems coincidence and observation
Yes, domesticated yeasts for bread and brewing are probably quite similar. I used to make moonshine. I’ve tried ordinary bread yeast from the supermarket and specialty “high yield” yeasts from brew suppliers. I found little significant difference in the amount of alcohol these yeasts would produce. It might make more difference if you’re trying to make a tasty beer or wine, but for distilling I never found it made much difference. I could usually get 10% to 12% in my mash. I never found it worth much effort to get over that since I was just going to distill the mash.
We didn't always know about yeast. For most of human history brewmasters and bakers thought their work blessed by the gods or other magical forces. Then science came around exposed the actual culprit
Duh
Yes but the point is: how long have people been selecting the yeast for? Baking and brewing have existed for *millennia*, but the evidence so far can't trace the selected yeast lineages back millennia. Such a long line of cultivation/domestication requires a continuous, unbroken chain of reproduction in one population. But using existing cultivated yeast often confers little advantage to wild (or human-associated but non-cultivated) yeast, especially for pre-industrial requirements of baking and brewing, so that, given enough time, it becomes increasingly likely for that chain to be broken at some point and a new one started.
holy shit ive been watching these videos with a heavy blue light filter at night, first time ive watched this during the day. i thought it was all black and white but its in COLOR its even more beautiful
ah yes, euphoriant effects~
id also like to thank lactobacillus (which gives us yoghurt, sauerkraut, kimchi, salt cucumbers and cheese)
"Peranema" makes me think of a "piranha enema", which is a surprisingly apt description of its feeding habits.
13:30 OHMIGOSH HE TIPTAP WALKING, so cute
Dude yesss, it is so adorable walking Water Bears walking ❤❤
“Now get ready for some truly gorgeous footage of a microanimal’s day going south…”
Stop it, I’m laughing tears at this phrase. I feel sorry for the little fellow but it’s a hilariously unexpected phrase. It’s probably just me.
This channel is purity and I love the light + lightheartedness it brings to my internet life. Thank you all 💕😊
_p.s. this goes to the community too !!!_
Likewise my friend :) You are right, it feels great to have a little bit of positivity, the world is so toxic nowadays.
Amen
Yes, I feel relaxed. I actually found this channel 2 days ago when I deleted 80% of my subscriptions. I must have liked it a while ago, but I was caught up in all my drama channels, with politics and news. Now when I want UA-cam chill time I actually chill. If I want news and politics I look it up separately. Peaceeeeeeeeee🦠🦠🦠🦠
@@whatrtheodds amen
Death sentence
that gastrotrich looks like it could have been the beginning stage of reptillian evolution. those body and belly scales are very interesting
I love your Very well made microscopic videos, this channel is wholesome way to learn about very tiny organisms
"You have to become the butthole" - Journey to the Microcosmos 2023
Good start of the year :D
The way he inhales food I think my grandson is a filter feeder
😂😂
What a quality! Such a microscope is probably worth millions! 1000 likes to this gentleman.
Man I loved the yeast bit, I am a fanatic about the history and use of bread x3.
Side note this gave me a new idea for a power to make a but appear anywhere on the body. Like a human amoeba... yea this video gave me weird ideas but loved it!
When I was a kid I was hanging out near the railroad tracks He found a sealed and pressurized coke bottle about 2/3 full of a pail yellow liquid. He told me that is what happens if coke is left in the sun.
I told him, "No, that's what happens when you pass coke through human kidneys."
He got a confused look on his face and I explained further, "Train engineers can't leave their post, not even if they have to take a leak. Drinking a Coke will cause the engineer to need to take a leak, but it also provides you a handy container to pee into."
He got what I was saying at this point. He got this horrified expression on his face and threw the bottle of engineer piss away.
Apparently it was his bother who told him about the sun bleached Coke thing, but worse, he got him to taste it. He had never tasted piss before so he did not identify the pail yellow liquid for what it really was at the time, only that it tasted horrible.
So I found out my friend knew something I didn't know. What piss tastes like.
So yea, don't ever drink sun bleached Coke.
how was it sealed and pressurized?
Coca de piña
@@seeingeyegodpretty sure the guy put the cap back on and the warm piss let off gases and expanded or something, nasty stuff😂
14:25 That joke came out of no where. Caught me off guard badly.
@24:21 love those two smiley yeast cells below the middle of the screen, and the one looking upon them from the right
This channel is by far underrated.
Imagine eating a burger by mashing it into your skin until it pops through and your skin closes behind it, then a whole new body cavity forms to digest it before what's left just comes out a brand new orifice made specifically to get rid of it, that is how the amoeba do
Really glad to see you guys posting again ! Hope you had good holidays everyone.
PS: Really good job to both narrators, your delivery is very nice.
Nassula looks so peaceful just bumbling around and eating.
some of those organisms are barely visible of what inside of them yet they are living things. it is so amazing.
It’s not just like super awesome videos. They are wholesome funny smart and the best part is I always want more
I found my first tardigrade last night and some other things that I’m not educated or smart enough to know what they are lol
That water bear seemed in a big hurry to get away from his poop. I wonder if it smelled that bad.
13:45 that rotifer on the left got so dang lucky holy crap
31:21 I could hear you almost drop a laugh there. No wonder, I would too if I was reading the words "one becomes the butthole", haha.
This is gonna be snatched by one of those "Out of Context" channels for sure.
Especially apropos today as I've been suffering with a vicious gastritis for the last few days 🤢
Just a few infective microorganisms can cause a great deal of pooping!
Hope you recovered
The dry way Hank delivers those lines about microbial defecation had my inner 12 yo in stitches 😂💖
I never thought I'd think a creature taking a poop would be cute. Tardigrades might be the only cute poopers... 🥴
The music in the intro is FIRE!!!!!!!
Amazing beat
omg the narration @ 28:12 had me in stiches, well done 🤣🤣
Politicians must have evolved from hydras, with their ability to excrete from their mouths
...😎😆
WOAAAH TARDIGRADES ARE SO MUCH MORE BALLER THEN I THOUGHT. water bears for reeeal for real
*me eating a healthy greek yogurt for a healthy microbial gut biome*
I am glad you saved the poo section for the end.
it’s all getting better at growing yeast and boiling water.
i was literally just watching old episodes thinking, I wish they had a new episode lol Thanks for granting wishes!!! I intend to send James samples from up here in Alaska, how do I go about doing that?
Finally a new vid I can watch while get ready for bed 😮☺️
I like having both of you narrate on this video - it's a nice balance
Beautiful footage. Terrific narration.
these videos make me wonder if there are higher beings watching us like this, feeling a little sad when bad things happen to us, but ultimately being unable to do anything about it
Ahh. I've learned a lot and liked at 27min. Butt :) i wish i would have more likes to send. Amazing job, great humour, outstanding pictures. Thank You and have a great day.
Can anyone explain to me why some of the organisms look like they’re just spinning around vibing?
I think yeast is already growing on grass or naturally occurring on it.
farmers turn grass into (dutch) kuil-gras sealing it off from light and oxygen in the winter with plastic.
or in the old days in a pit to preserve it. pit in Dutch means 'kuil' .
this grass smells like beer.
I don't know if anybody else notices but the one of the microorganisms in the thumbnail have a 3d/holographic affect and its so cool!
Deboki has grown to nail the "professional cozy" tone of voice. Love listening to her talk almost as much as Hank (who's first only because of my personal preference, not a matter of merit).
What an amazing Channel, thank you, I feel so relaxed. 💕✨✨✨
Vampyrella only likes the creamy centers!
Excellent information about the world of microorganisms thanks for sharing...
From 2:26 what really amazes me, that it bumps, then backpedals, and changes direction just a little, if it bumps again it makes a turn and goes anywhere else. Where sense of orientation, sense of movement and speed, sense of impact and direction are stored inside that?
I like how the gastrotrich exoskeleton looks like snake skin...micro dragons
How can someone look at these living beings apparently without sensorial organs and brains and still don’t believe that senses and intelligence are somehow outside our physical world?
Its extremely easy my guy. Unsure why anyone would even for an instant consider what you just said. I never once considered mystical influence
@@slaydon3 is it’s easy would you care to explain? Because I don’t get it. These are single cell intelligent beings and nobody knows how they do it. Until now I just heard the answer is: because they do. Is the same answer given by physicists and priests: there was a big bang of light and the universe was created because it was, by a god or by himself.
And, my friend, mystical influence are your words, not mine. I said: outside OUR physical world. Doesn’t mean it’s not physical or is mystical. Just means we can’t see it.
Best channel I have found yet!
Can you build 3d objects and animations of the micro organisms by changing the focus through their bodies multiple times per second and assembling the various focus lengths in to structures?
I don't think so, since parts of their bodies are opaque enough to block other parts
It's already in 3D from a specific perspective, which I think may be what actually causes it not to be liftable so well like that. You would have to make so much from scratch it would defeat the purpose :(
It’s amazing to see a single celled organism eat a multicellular micro animal.
19:00 I half expected " _Homo Sapiens_ cutting bread, 1x " to appear in the corner.
Whoever you are, wherever you are, there is a microbe pooping on you as you read this.
LOL! We are COVERED in microbe poop! 😂
I think you'll find that New Zealand is not the only country that produces Manuka honey.
*Cough* Australia *cough*
I wonder which of these methods would be the most likely to evolve multicellularity again?
hmm probably whichever is the current method of the most dominant species in that food chain - whcih idk, probably the bigger ones, tardigrades are very durable i hear :3
A colony based organism would be the best candidate to do that, in that sense, especially in reproductive 🧑🍼🧑🍼🧑🍼🧑🍼🧑🍼🧑🍼 dispersal form.
21:00 So are you saying basically the alcohol is technically the yeast's "poop"
Hey! I have saccharomyces cerevisiae in my fridge right now! It’s in standby mode right now. I can boot them up by giving it gas (sugar and warm milk).
What does saccharmyces cerevisiae do for fun? Under the microscope, they look so bored.
Very best content - micro and macro - intake and out!
31:12 damn, didn't know butthead became a microbiologist
"How does one poop when one does not have a butthole??"
"One BECOMES...the butthole." 🤣🤣🤣
never been so in awe in my life
i love this channel!
That pun at the end. Brilliant.
Faygocytosis? I get that at gathering of the juggalos. Whoop whoop
What are the clear tubes with the yellow zigzags inside? It looks so cool.
I believe what you’re referring to is labeled as algae
Diatoms.
Probably Diatoms, Algae, or Cyanobacteria
Had chemo for non Hodgkin's Tcell lymphoma about 18 years ago. I was part of a study where I got double the amount of chemo in a lot of drugs, doxorubicin,6MP,8TG, Methotrexate,daunorubicin.etc doxorubicin really messed my mouth up to the point I had to numb my mouth before eating even soft foods, but it melted the tumor that was pressing on my lungs and heart, pissed most of it out within 2 weeks but the quarter size left took 2 years. They get you as close to dressed as possible without dieing (permanently) I did die but only for a few minutes lol. Chemo is wonderful and awful at the same time but it sure saved my life, UCSF doctors and nurses are the best people and made my time there a lot easier.
Amazing video!
Thank you! I love to learn. This is a so cool channel of biology❤
I’m just going’s to tack this tib bit of information to the yeast part of this video but there’s a guy right now using yeast to make artificial spider silk and I think it’s absolutely incredible what something so small can achieve with a bit of slight modification
Rotifers are just getting bodied
29:29 aww.
It's a cute little micro shrimp.
Happy new year! JttM
Excellent. Great narration.
Do they rest or sleep?
loved this vid!
I’d love to see a video on how cila work
Go James! Love pics of what IS invisible to the naked eye(I)! Why some these suckers are clear almost glass like? The one about worms , crawling on my / your face almost too much. Tks keep it up.
In the last clip of the Tardigrade pooping...Is it pooping on it's eggs???? Cause it looks like it has eggs 😂😂😂
we live in an eat, get eaten and poop world...
It's so weird that even the smallest creatures evolve to become killers, predators, and have to consume other beings.
If only plants and other organisms capable of photosynthesis were also able to move around voluntarily and see and hear... that would be a beautiful existence.
Plants do move if you've ever seen trees or flowers shifting towards the sunlight, but it's at at really slow pace. The reason they move so slow is because movement requires a large amount of energy that autotrophic means can't provide. Heterotrophy is a way for an animal to get energy fast and at large amounts, which is why they have greater motility
Sooo how dose a closer look at dirt bong warter sound
XD that last tardigrade shat right on her eggs! WTF 😂 🔥 👌
howd you get so many rotifers in one area?
What kind of microscope do you use, and which one is a good recommendation
Hello I have a question that you guys might be able to answer!
I recently went to india and contracted traveler's d*arrhea. I'm from the America's and was told its usually because my body isn't used to the water there. Could you guys show what the different living micro-ecosystems in the drinking waters around the world look like, and why this can sometimes get a reaction like this? THANK YOU ALL
When I was a kid I read that this was caused by your body being unaccustomed to the differing mineral content of water found sufficiently far from home.
Thinking about it, I couldn't come up with a mechanism, outside of arsenic for example, so I googled, and whoever wrote that visited people with a contaminated well.
I would say that it is almost certainly caused by bacteria or living organism. I literally felt like I was gonna die out there. I ran out of bottled water, and was too lazy to go out and buy it. I drank the tap water that tasted clean and was cold and refreshing, but hours later I felt like I was going to die. I had diarrhea for several days. I think the locals can tolerate it because their body has built up defenses.
It is mostly caused by immune system and how it reacted with new toxins. Take shiga toxin, from certain e-coli, if never exposed to it the first time your body goes nutty and sheds your fast dividing cells in your gut, but after a time you adapt to it. Until then craps and the runs.
Your channel is awesome
The voice of the narrator is excellent
Can we get a video on these that live in extreme environments like hot temperatures lew acid or very high ph waters.
Thoughts.
That would be very cool, but I'm not really sure how James would manage that from his microscope room in Poland.
Just when I thought rotifers couldnt get any cooler!
6:54 me trying to have dessert after a huge meal
imagine a world where youre just walkin around lookin for food and at any point something can come by and suck your skin off
amazing view.. cool!
Fascinating
32:20 so many interesting things.
What is that weird shape with eye's at the bottom??
