Stentor: is bitten and insides spilled
Stentor: sucks up former insides
They were still using those.
Cat: birthes placenta with kitten
Cat: eats placenta
So I guess the question is... Does it break down the recently outer-d innards like food, or does it just reabsorb them back into itself as if nothing happened?
@@MinecraftRib I think maybe both. It breaks down its reabsorbed innards to its basics and then uses it as raw material to rebuild instead of having to convert sugars into energy to make it themselves
I cannot get enough of Stentors even though I have tens of thousands of them in my living room!
You have a pond in your living room?
@@sanitysquota937 He has so many samples I swear his home is a microzoo
@@harmonydew6486 yeah I didn't look at the name before I replied. Now, that you've pointed out my mistake it is too late...lol
Awesome!!! Do you have one of those microscopic worms where you cut them in half and they regenerate themselves? I remember reading about them in biology. Planaria(sp)?
The quality of these images is phenomenal! Thanks for giving us a glimpse of this hidden world, James! 😊
the little dude ripping the stentor open was so sick, it's incredible how you manged to find that at just the right time to record it
Highly skilled people that spend a lot of time on a task tend to have more "lucky" coincidences than the rest of us.

It's almost scary sometimes realizing just how much we don't know about the natural world, and yet nothing could make me happier.
That regeneration is cool. It's hard to believe it can survive after losing so much of its insides.
I was glad to see him pull himself together.
little pond inside a greater pond
Sometimes I like to pause the video and admire the little details. The little folds of the cell wall as it curls up, the slight differences in pigment, the mesmerizing pattern of the stripes, how I can see the organelles through the cell wall, how what I see changes as it swims closer and farther away, it's beautiful.
Thats not cell wall, but pellicule
4:42
It's only a flesh wound!
Read title as "What Humans and Senators Have in Common"...
That would be a very short video.
I am the Senate! - sheev Palatine 60 bby
That wouldn’t be much of a video.
Same, gave me a serious chuckle
Same hahaha
Hey, have you guys found any plastic particles in the pond samples you take? What are the threats of plastic to the microcosmos?
Please like this so he can see it!
We see plastic particles in every one of our samples. That's really upsetting and possible harmful to our precious microbes. Maybe we can make an episode about it in the future!
@@JamsGerms please do. it would be very interesting and informative
Please do this
So I noticed a unique ability of meal moths (that's what we call them in the Midwest USA). Their larvae have the ability to disintegrate plastic to the point at which they can enter it and feed on the grain. I wonder if we could possibly isolate this enzyme/biochemical so that we can eliminate this coming plastic apocalypse.
@@rickbailey7183 a very nice thought, but I'm afraid that there are two problems - first, the larvae do it mainly mechanically (by chewing through) and second, there are tons of different types of plastic, each of which would need separate degradation pathway. Different plastic-dissolving enzymes are being researched all the time, but the issue is much more complicated than that :/
This is one of those channels where I like the video before I hit the play button.
7:15 humans have non-standard genetic codes too. There's a certain sequence of dna that if present at the start of a protein makes a certain stop codon get reinterpreted as the code for a completely new amino acid, separate from the standard ones - selenocysteine. This mechanism is used to create certain thyroid hormones I believe
O.O
O.O
I've run across selenocysteine in some of the amino acid schemes I use. Usually it's not something to worry about. I thought it was bacterial, or otherwise nonhuman. Intriguing!
I.... does it cause a conformational change of the ribosome or what? How is the ribosome stateful? How could this be?
@@GyroCoder idk
I came back from a travel to find my stove full of water dripping from the ceiling (still fixing the neighbor's leakage). After about 3 weeks of being there, the water was green. I was thinking in every green animalcula we have seen here while I dried and cleaned the stove. I feel like a mass murderer. 😢😭😥
Thats nothing compared to what you crush each day
And, nothing compared to what you kill while breathing every day. We live in a literal sea of life. So, we all are mass murderers of microscopic life.
The part about the (lack of) universality of the genetic code blew my mind.
I read the title while being quite angry and, without any thinking, exclaimed:
"They suck!"
Then I laughed at how correct I was :)
I love this channel. Seriously man, I really love this channel. I watch everyone of your videos and I always will
I love how you upload these just as I'm going to sleep
One day a microorganism might invent a telescope, so that they may see us too.
a macroscope perhaps
@@AnalyticalReckoner if they are bigger than us then it's micro
Nnnope.
@@jesusjoseph1899 r/whoosh
MIB Orion's belt 😂 exactly right
4:30 Hi, 911? I need to report an attempted murder
That little cilliate was so mean to that stentor! That savage little bite looked so painful!
@@revenevan11 tis but a flesh wound
😂 😂 😂
You guys are doing something really special with this channel.
This video in particular was visually magnificent; even among the other uploads.
The shot of the Stentor being ripped open and all of its insides and organelles spilling out was crazy. It felt violent to watch, almost gorey, even though i probably unknowingly cause untold numbers of eviscerations to similar animals every single day, just by moving around and living my life.
Everyone is aware of the existence of "germs" and whatnot We all know that there are constantly scores of these minute creatures around and within us.
However the baffling and absurd insanity of that reality was lost on me until i saw the vids on this channel.
Watching these has caused a distinct and lasting shift in my perspective.
Like, on the macro end of spacial perception, there is the vast, potentially infinite expanse of outer space, containing god only knows what undiscovered wonders.
But it now seems to me that on the far other end of things, theres a slightly less flashy, less frequently appreciated universe, the universe of the microscopic.
Anyway this became a long and rambling comment, but what im getting at here is that this channel has inspired wonder in me, as well as in a friend who i shared this channel with.
& the long term "butterfly effect' of inspiring scientific and existential wonder in huge numbers of people could really end up being truly massive.
theres no way of knowing. But if nothing else, im very thankful for you guys making these images visible to me and so many others. love you hank green !
I just love those polarized views
Stentors are just like us? Well, I'd thought it was weird when I budded off a clone of myself last week, but I guess that's just normal!
i love how you are "bringing us close" to these individual species, but i think it would be nice to also have something like an overview episode, where you would show scenes like the last in this video with many different creatures, point them out individually and explain how they interact, complement each other or compete for resources and space etc.. (and yes, the "bitten stentor" was literally awesome in this regard, thank you!) Anyhow, keep it up - you already are legend, Hank! :D
That sequence of the stentor being 'bitten' and leaking out is amazing - I don't know if there are prizes for microorganism micro-videography, but if there are, this should win one.
There are
Every now and then the algorithm gives me something truly special to watch.
I relate to stentors more than i do other people
I too like to fix myself in one location for long periods of time while sucking in any food that happens to pass by
4:38
That was some true gore right there. Almost hard to watch. I'm surprised UA-cam hasn't taken this down. That was hardcore. Stentor plays with invincibility mode on.
Odd little things. I wonder how they decide whether to be free swimming or anchor down with the grabby bit at the "tail" end? Footage seems to show examples of both behaviors, and sometimes mixed at the same time.
I'm surprised no one's come up with the idea of a Stentor plushy, or maybe a stress ball.
That would be the perfect merch for me.
Hank Green was made for this kind of video. Thank you for such a passionate approach. And always thank you James for the eye-opening and spectacular work.
This footage is jaw-dropping. The depth of field you manage to get in these shots is so incredible.
Not only a great video, I also learned something new about a word I only THOUGHT I understood, haha. Puts the idea of "stentorian voices" in a whole new register for me.
It makes me happy that I learn something new with every video, in such a calm way. Thank you once again!
I had a feeling when I saw that video on James's channel with the stentor getting bit I would see it over here! Masterful work as always, ladies and gentlemen
4:29 it's all fun and games until somebody explodes
I just love these videos! Thank you to all for making these videos possible!
You have such a great voice for this - both calming and interesting at the same time! I'm glad I finally found this channel!
I just want to say how amazing these shots are, absolutely breath taking.
I love these videos so much. They're fascinating and mesmerizing, perfect to watch before bedtime 😊
I’m happily hooked on this channel & The SciShow. This one made my heart beat even faster. Thank you , Microcosm team!
As always, stunningly beautiful and informative.
I never learned about the other style of base pairs... interesting... and bothersome that I didn't know

The shots at 9:40 are insane! So in love with those colors and this channel!
1:30
Wow......1000X magnification......first time I recall seeing this level of mag power in your videos......can your equipment go beyond this power? What's the max for now.......for the future?
Jan was given a fancy new microscope by the manufacturer. It isn't exactly a sponsorship, because there is no obligation to mention the brand or model. As he learns how to effectively use more features, we will see them in videos.
Amazing as always, incredible. Keep going guys
I have watched your 6 videos in a row and now I am already feeling sleepy over here
That just mean your guys are doing great
I gasped when that last bit popped on at the end.
These is just so damn fascinating and mesmorizing to watch!
The Universe is such a big place, with seemingly an infinite variety to be found in a drop of water.
I heard recently that stentors have the ability to seemingly change their minds. Why are the huge little guys so strange and yet similar
Imagine waking up in your bed to find a giant human sized microbe saying to you "Hello!" That would be both scary yet an amazing discovery at the same time!
Vuvuzelas for tardigrades.
lol :-)
This channel is just too chill ❤️
This episode is freaking BEAUTIFUL
Enjoyed your video and gave it a Thumbs Up
Another great journey. Thank you.
Thank you for your work guys :3
Everything you guys do is absolutely beautiful
I love my Stentor pin. I hope you make more Microcosmos pins in the future.
Was just playing this last night as I fell asleep, so good 👌
Marvelous content. Wonderful series.
First
Also really good video, I always love these very well done and professional presentations of the micro cosmos.
dogma?
That lone stentor at 0:44 is introverted me awkwardly watching a group of extroverts socialize right next to me.
Ahh, my favorite denizen of the microcosmos. Cheers ❤
This channel has shifted how I understand micro organisms. To even fathom this world was beyond me
These videos are so awesome!
I legitimately thought this was Carl Sagan's voice waxing poetic that you dubbed over the video, until you started getting specific to the content you're making, then I realized you just got the voice. Absolutely breathtaking.
the more we know the more we realize how little we know.
I like to think of it as realizing how little you know is the sign you are really learning something about our messy complex universe
Every question we answer asks a hundred more.
Have you guys considered filming in 4k now that you've got all the cool new equipment? If there was a channel I'd like to have in 4k, it's this one.
Wow! Look at that massive patreon list! Well done!
*Another wonderful episode*
Wow, Hank has developed quite the "meditation video" voice compared to his radio voice on his other shows.
these are so fascinating to watch
Bought the soundtrack during the P4A can't wait for it to arrive!
Hi Microcosmos masters! I'd like to see slow motion footage to understand how the cilia work. And may be are there other thing to show in slowmo. Many thanks for the journey.
Fascinating videos. Thx
It's easier to see more when you look inward with eyes the size of galaxies than it is to look outward at galaxies with microscopic eyes
Well information. Good show.
I live for this stuff!
"Evolution is messy" so true..
it is the first conclusion i had starting my research thesis in evolutionary genetics.
Noam S then can you tell me how a unicellular organism magically “evolved” into a multimillion celled organism in one evolutionary leap? What possible random genetic mutation would change a 1 celled organism into a multimillion celled organism without forming any type of organisms in between? The notion of a eukaryotic bacteria 🦠, through billions of years of random genetic mutations, “evolving” into a Giant Sequoia is the most ridiculous, pathetic, pseudoscientific bullsh!t I have ever heard! There is no theoretical way for this to occur!

i love your videos !!!
Thankyou for that moment of zen
I love this channel.
It would be awesome if you could make some videos on how to set up and farm different Protozoan in jags or whatnot.
Awesome!
the new lighting is fantastic!
always amazes me
the visual are soothing to the eyes, as are the audibles to the ears. :) Thank you! How could you listen in on these organisms?
Amazing 😊😊
Excellent vid as usual for you guys. Thanks for highlighting the variance in genetic code between Stentor and other extant ciliates. Keeping in mind that Nature is not anywhere near as predictable as we'd like Her to be, Stentor use of the 'standard' nucleotide code could just as easily be a later acquisition or adoption by the Stentor clade following their branching from the other ciliates. I wouldn't bet money on either way. We know too little. :)
1:25 wow, what a Van Gough painting
Sooooo exciting
If you did this for like an hour I'd sleep to it
This video + dmt is amazing 🤩
I thought this said "senators" and I was like "Ya. Ya I would like to know!"
I mean, we're mammals, they're reptiles, it would be a short video

Commenting for support
Would it ever be possible to do a livestream? i dont know if thats doable logistically, but if it is, it would be super cool to have a stream every once in a while where we get to watch you guys look through slides and talk about what you see, or whatever else you felt like doing.
just a thought
Very beautiful
really wish I liked the look of that pin, I love these lil guys ;u;
Love it🔬
