Can you get your hands on some Extremefiles on camera or mybe some none o2 breathing life like nitrogen life i hear there some at a bottom of a lake and are becoming just like these the first 1 on video but with deep blue tint. Thoughts
@@thesilentone4024 Based largely on your recommendation, and as a thank you to them sponsoring this episode, I subscribed to Fabulous.

Last night their short audio coaching segment was so good I decided to share it with some friends, as the app invited. I thought I was passing on the affirming message, but I discovered that to hear it, they had to get the app, and would be liable for full subscription charge if they failed to opt out within a specified time. Further, it appeared I was encouraging them to do so. The noted behavior experts Sunstein and Thaler call this opt-out-required strategy 'sludge.' I was embarrassed in front of my friends.

I recall that this is why our bodies arrange that mitochondria are only inherited from the egg cell not the sperm cell - because it prevents the different lineages fighting. I can't find where I got that though; I can only find uncertainty, e.g.: (link removed)
@@SimonClarkstone Sometimes, some sperm mitochondria will survive the fertilization "purging". In those cases studied, last I read, led to mitochondrial disorders. Of course that could be self selecting as few look so closely at large numbers of people's mitochondria if they don't have a problem.
3:47 - whoa, you glossed over an interesting point about freezing microbes for future study! Can they be revived after that? Even when it's a cell full of other cells?
I believe that the freezing process is just to prevent deterioration for later study. When living tissue is frozen, the water in the cells turns into ice. Cryogenics is a power of evolution not yet harnessable by humanity.
@@FelixHelix AFAIK it's not something humans have figured out at the scale of a large multicellular organism but there have been some successes for single cells. We're talking microbes here so it's plausible.
Yep - microbes can be frozen! Not regular freezer, it has to be -80C and need to contain glycerol to prevent ice crystals formation. I work in a lab and it’s a daily thing we do!
@@xWanderlustt Frozen and revived, you mean? Sounds cool! How do you revive them afterwards? Just heat it evenly or is it more complicated? Do they start moving again and behaving like nothing happened?
@@DracarmenWinterspring the Brits actually managed to do it in the 40's and 50's - in fact the precursor to the modern microwave was invented to thaw frozen hamsters - but apparently rabbit-sized organisms are the limit.
Just found this channel and boy so glad I did. As a longtime follower of both scishow and andrew huang (yay pfudor), these videos are a perfect symbiosis of science and art. Keep up the good work!
I can’t help but think that the right kind of software could combine consecutive images at different focal planes into images with a far greater depth of field.
I wonder if the absorption of light by the chlorophylls in the algae protects the loxodes rostrum when it does encounter light. Maybe the green light produced by the algae is less harmful? Or the algal adaptions to use light means that they produce compounds that helps repair the loxodes' light-damage. But maybe its nothing to do with light at all...
Hi. Thanks for putting together this fantastic video. I do have following questions. 1) At 1:40, was the 1000x oil or dry objective used in DIC or Phase Contrast setting? 2) At 4:27, was the 630x oil or dry objective used in DIC or Oblique Illumination? 3) Was the blue background from filter itself or software enhanced feature? Thank you.
U sound like u know what’s going on. Is it possible to view stuff like this outside of a lab? Like is there any way to see this stuff at home using a high powered microscope
@@ThatGuy-yk1ey I have been doing it with my setup using phase contrast, dark field, and oblique at home. It works fine for me but it is not as professional as Microcosmos's production and need to learn more technique. I am not sure what do you refer to regarding to high power microscope. My setup is a clinical grade scope. It is not quite affordable. Adding DIC will be more costly. It is reason why I use oblique as pseudo DIC. Hope that helps.
i want to do what yall do but im almost 40 with 3 kids, 2 almost in college, and we are below the poverty line for sure. please let me know what i should do because im currently a sophomore in college with no decided major. thanks for your work. our world is so amazing.
You'd want to study microbiology. Talk to your school's guidance counselor. If necessary, make an appointment to talk with someone in the biology department. They'll be able to give you much more focused advice than a "general " guidance counselor. Good luck! I'm 52, and a junior in college. Even if you have to slow down once in a while, don't ever give up! You'll be setting a great example for your family.
As for the Loxodus rostrum, is it possible that the endo symbiont catches the light before it can do harm to the host? That could be the reason for the succes.
The Loxodes rostrum relationship with algae sounds like it could be a basis for a new type of romance novel or movie genre. Yet I doubt humans could be so tolerant or flexible. Poor sad humans.
"THE MIGHTY MITOCHONDRIA"... Endosymbiotic hypothesis, the ATP production facility in our human cells is believed to be from a endocytosis that enabled non oxygenated life to survive the Great Oxidation Extinction event. This symbiotic union resulted in the chiroplasts mitochondria relationship of oxygen sugar ATP that's important for oxygenated breathing animals to live, refuel, on a cellular level.
you know im really late to this but like hank you're like THE DAVID ATTENBOROUGH OF MY UA-cam! you are the voice of so much knowledge thank you for everything you do!
Learnt a lot about life and the narrators own experience of life a lot ..lol ... Btw , mitochondria was also once a life by itself .. it is also a classic endosymbiotic relationship aka zombied ..
7:17 is it just me or are the photosynthesizers in that little bugger managing to specifically avoid being under any of the rows of cilia? Like when the camera focus zooms out just slightly you can see that there are lines of cilia on it and the algae are directly under none of them.
one time i would like to see what the sample looks like out side of the microscope....ya know? like just see what the slide with the sample the goes into the microscope looks like, jsut to have some kinda of grasp around the physical size of the sample
bro i have a simnple request ... can you link the background music video bcz i searched that youtuber's channel like 2 times and couldn't find the track
Thanks you so much for the videos. Hey Hank, I have a proposition, you take all my money and I get a microscope (the site has been out of stock for the last month at least)
Amazing video! I have a question, if it can multiply by itself with its own genetic mechanisms, is it considered an endosymbiotic organism or an organelle??
Loxodes rostrum reminds me of the sacred Olm Salamander. It has two breaths (two different breathing airs). People also have ability of two breaths. The Olm is within People, poetically speaking. The words "FORCED" INTO. This idea that two incompatible a are FORCED into "happy on our own" makes me think Felix the Cat wants to pull out of his bag a letter from Mister Pointdexter.
I think your better than most UA-camr iam always wondering why you still didn't reach a million subscribers when you give dumb people like me so much information 👌👌👌👌
Or maybe one will dump the other after their equivalent of 4 decades because they don't "want to live in" your "world" any more, and will never even admit that the one they left wasn't the bad guy, after all, even when they learn differently. Long, ugly, unpleasant story, but I really wasn't prepared for having THAT particular analogy thrown at me... it hurts like _~bleeping bleep!~_
Non mobile microbes: *vibing* Sciliates and other mobile microorganisms: *_I'LL TRY SPINNING THATS A GOOD TRICK_* (Its a star wars reference for those who dont get it at first)
Love your vids, super fascinating and the background music is very calming. Some feedback: try recording a bit further away from the mic and/or using a de-esser on your voiceover, these 2 things should help you avoid those sharp piercing s sounds
The Loxodes must be able to tolerate a very specific amount or wavelength of light, and its algae adapted to thrive within that specific standard, whether before or after they achieved symbiosis.
Fun theory: Our universe is actually something similar to a ciliate, we perceive the world as expanding because the organism keeps eating something outside our realm and it grows further and further. Space is comparable to fluid, our stars and planets are artifacts of what the organism might have ate.

please do lichens on facultative mutualism. they defy Linean categorisation-schemes and we need to see their structure under a microscope somehow!

Microbes are more advanced culturally than us. Rip
@@skussy69 Well, they have had a billion years more practice.
I love the metaphors you tie in at the end of these videos
❤️ it’s just me? Or others can find this relatable in many levels.
Thank you for an other mirror shaped by microorganisms.
I love every episode of this series, I love to show as many of my friends this channel as I can and they generally love it as well.

8:00 varied routes towards near homeostasis for the whole organism under varying environmental constraints.
Great episode!!!
I always can't believe this content is free ngl
The slide at 2:32 says “facultative mutalism” instead of “facultative mutualism”
this is some of the best content on youtube and I never studied biology

I want to give this five more likes just for the part with the loxodes rostrum. That was flippin' poetic!
As for the Loxodus rostrum, is it possible that the endo symbiont catches the light before it can do harm to the host? That could be the reason for the succes.
In the case of Loxodes rostrum, could it be that they have a secondary symbiosis that would not be possible without pairing up?
Tried to wipe off james's lens smudge (in the lower right quadrant) at least four times
Another great Hank moment!
The Loxodes rostrum relationship with algae sounds like it could be a basis for a new type of romance novel or movie genre. Yet I doubt humans could be so tolerant or flexible. Poor sad humans.
So glad you're back!
Sometimes I feel like the microcosmos might inspire a pretty fun TTRPG setting.
My DM has actually taken inspiration for several eldritch horror monsters from microbes!

Enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up
My favorite mutalists are Riftia and the chemosynthetic prokaryotes that live within the worm's own cells as endosymbionts.
you know im really late to this but like hank you're like THE DAVID ATTENBOROUGH OF MY UA-cam! you are the voice of so much knowledge thank you for everything you do!
Thank you, James. So much.
Thoughts on getting some Extremefiles and giving them a look.
Thoughts on seeing something more or less unknown cells.
The bell icon is clicked but i dont get notified when you upload 😢 YT sucks for anything worth spending your time on anymore…
Thank you so much
Since i saw the water bear video, i got hooked on ur videos :)
Learnt a lot about life and the narrators own experience of life a lot ..lol ... Btw , mitochondria was also once a life by itself .. it is also a classic endosymbiotic relationship aka zombied ..
Learnt?
@@Skepticfornow ha ha .. u seem to have more to say ... Express yourself pls
@@Skepticfornow Learnt and learned are both correct if you're pointing out the spelling. It's like color vs colour, just a dialect/regional thing.

relationship goals 🥺🥺🥺
Maybe chlorophyll acts as a sunscreen for Loxodes rostrum
Deep question: Is a P Bursaria a single- or multi-celled organism?!?

What a time to be alive
I also make videos of microscopic beings.
Great work💚🦠🦠🔬
one time i would like to see what the sample looks like out side of the microscope....ya know? like just see what the slide with the sample the goes into the microscope looks like, jsut to have some kinda of grasp around the physical size of the sample
4:00 looks like a bag of veggies and fruits
I understand some of those words
I think the prokaryotes in the ciliate at 03:03 as a "battlecruiser" and are off to war!! :D
Exellent video
2:31
you misspelled mutualism, nice video
What is that green at 4:26?
Обожаю этот контент
4:03 Coleps viridis is a cupcake
Deeply incompatible organisms... Story of my life.
Why?
Cyclic contraction of habitat, modulated by a water cycle of deficit following excess. Overnover, over eons. Micro puddles in the sun.
is it really optional if it helps you survive?
50% of mutualism ends in divorce.
I dont know if they have a court for that in there.
I feel like no.
I wonder how they tell the difference between algae and other critters at feeding time? One gets digested, but the other doesn't.
So they all have their FB status set to "it's complicated".
bro i have a simnple request ... can you link the background music video bcz i searched that youtuber's channel like 2 times and couldn't find the track
How do you image microorganisms that melt when exposed to light?
low light, high ISO
Thanks you so much for the videos.

Mitochondria inside our cells divide independent of the cell itself
Yay!
What do you mean by "fix nitrogen"?
Around 2:16, what is that black oval area that looks like it is being censored?
Probably a bubble?
Dirt maybe
They're in love
3:02
i just realized that the show is hosted by hank, nice, but are all chapters?
