Ren Kalan incredible work, astounding, thank you
Thank you kind entity
You forgot to add "is this goop poop?"
@@lowearthsurfer What's the time stamp for that?

This was the weirdest thing I've ever seen under the microscope. It just blew my mind!
Ps. Sorry for adjusting the microscope here and there. It was my old makeshift microscope and needed a lot of adjustments.
The whole recording was fantastic. I am so thankful for your skills, equipment and sharing with us. That was so interesting and fun!
Thank you for sharing with us. So fascinating!
Never mind the adjusting, it's like staring through the eyepiece myself.
Typical. An expert apologizing for not being perfect. Get over it. It was AWESOME!! 😍
Nice catch in this one and image was great for something you didn't have time to stage for... Hope you see more oddities like this and can capture them.
"when you see something strange happen, you hit record". Good advice for many fields of interest.
Yeah, I feel like there's so many instances IRL of just random interesting stuff going on that we forget to really take note and admire it sometimes. I've started using my phone's reminder app to remind myself to do research into these sorta things once I've got free time.
Of course when I try it people say things like "please leave the operating room"
Haa!
Always record delete if nothing of note
It's also why we have so many videos of shit like seniors getting the hell kicked out of em by Thugs. Or children with drug addled parents being neglected. Everyone records. Nobody helps. So maybe not applicable to all fields necessarily. Now in science absolutely.
I´m ok with letting what happens on the microscope dictate what you do on this channel.
I loved this video!!
When people ask "will we ever find aliens"
..... as if we haven't already.
These are earthlings af.
There is an expression that something is as exciting as "watching mold grow," and until now, I thought that meant "boring." Now I am not so sure that it doesn't mean "fascinating."
"as morbidly fascinating as watching parasites spawn from a host's egg."
kinda applies when watching real world politics, tbh.
@@alveolate stupidity does have some entertainment value.
Yeah, with the right lenses and timelapse, mold growth can be a fun simcity :D
@@Davesoft we need a sims mod that does that
You haven't heard about scientists watching slime mold map out a real subway by placing food in a scale map of where the cities are? It can be used to find the most efficient routes of a complex transport system.
Do you think there would be a way to stream real time under the microscope stuff? Honestly just leaving some stuff in a slide and just streaming that would be awesome.
Well, they kinda did this at the project for awesome. Hank's and bis brother John's 48h charity livestream. Journey to the microcosmos had an one hour spot, where we could see some baby tartigrades, live.
Yes!
A live stream I would actually watch.
We could totally build an internet-controllable microscope .....
@@cosmo1494 "internet controlable" sounds like a disaster in the making. I wouldn't let an internet community control anything. There was once a chat bot that people could teach stuff in the internet. O
It only took a few hours for them to make it a sexist antisemitic Nazi...
Don't give them control over physical things, much less living beeings :'(
@@melonlord1414 or you know just control over the x, y and z axis so they can focus the image and scan around at will. That sounds less consequential at least.
I really like the background music, it complements the images very well.
Now I can't stop wondering if the salmon I had for dinner was cooked as well as it should have been.
“...And little fleas have lesser fleas, And so ad infinitum...” - Augustus De Morgan
Fleas of fleas of fleas of fleas...
So it's fleas all the way down?
You'd think it goes down to bacteria, but nope, then come the Phages and take them over.
I'm sure somewhere deep down after pure strands of RNA we'd find something that doesn't have fleas ... But there's always a Prion to fall back to (even though it's more of a Zombie rather than a flea)
@@MrRedwires prion is just a protein lol, it can be thought of more like a super deadly toxin.
Eventually you get electrons living off atoms, and quarks living on them , who knows where it goes!
at around 17:30 as I'm leaning in at my monitor, a nagging apprehension takes hold as i become almost hypnotized by the wiggling and the backround 'music'.
OMG- I hope this isn't going to be the mother of all jump-scares!
Definitely more exciting than watching paint dry... and i'm a painter.
Just want to say this video has a stunning soundtrack, maybe it's because of being unedited and less narrated it had a lot more time to evolve with the story, but I was grooving. Came across this channel and Andrew Huang's separately awhile back and didn't even realize it was him until I looked at the credits to check while watching this, he's a great fit.
Let's not forget about that climax, I got chills... over some germs? That's an achievement.
ua-cam.com/users/andrewhuang you should watch his stuff. He's a cool dude and might I add extremely talented.
Would you happen to know if he has released the soundtrack he made for the channel anywhere? I looked, but couldn't find it. :(
@@sofyalipkind5610 Check his bandcamp
Yeah Andrew's stuff fits so well with this channel, spaced out, vast sounds is like one of the five hundred thousand things he does very well
"they are cells.." and the beat drops 👍
@Ryan Napier , nope. that's me. from about 8 yrs ago.
Lmao
I strongly demand a 24 hours live stream of microscopic observation
I'll pay
I love that your format follows the events rather than a formula.
"they are cells" suddenly the cells start dancing to the music
Imagine being the editor and going, "I know just what music to put with that!"
appreciate the up-front disclaimer & the timestamps; but pleased to have been able to observe this in real time. For what it's worth, you made the right choice by me.
Yeah, and for the weirdos that don't wanna sit through 20 mins of watching a parasite grow, this channel doesn't discriminate against weirdos! They spend their time to produce this high quality video while also spending even more time to make the content accessable and enjoyable to those who have limited time. It's a real proof of the passion and care that these guys put into these vids, not just passion in the science and cool factor but also passion in making the content accessable to all.
There's what makes this channel so great, thank you for listening to my Ted talk.
delusional deluna
Spot on. I’m new to this channel, but what I seen so far is absolutely fantastic in so many levels.
A regular Y-Tuber would never release a vid like this, as revenue is based on (among other) that the vid is looked at in full. Also it’s not hyped or some crazy drama.
This channel are giving the viewers a non selfish choice, I love it! And based on their subs and views, they are on the right track:)
Cheers
This is the perfect balm to a long, awkward, and uncomfortable day of weather delayed air travel. Currently using this to relax in the terminal. Grey speckled walls, and sleep deprivation abounds.
This was awesome, and you know, the music really works as well, I'd happily watch some bacteria wiggling about for a whole hour in the background, check in.
It's kinda like with ants, scurrying around, doing their thing, having a system in place for how they work and you can just follow it around.
This series, though I've worked with microscopes myself, and with Electron microscopes, it was mostly on fungi or unmoving bacteria... This series just shows what a world of life is hidden beyond what we can normally see. It's easy to think "There's bacteria everywhere", but it's a lot more fascinating to see that world in motion, in action.
And some parts are very alien, even scary, and then some very much resemble, analogue with what we see going on in our macroscopic world.
It's fascinating and I look forward to every dang episode. You guys are making the microscopic accessible and understandable, which is something that has been tried before, but has always been pretty hard to do in a way that keeps an audience, because it very quickly comes to a point where people have to study because they don't understand things.
But the simple and clear explanations are memorable and though I personally forget every single name you guys throw at me, I do not forget what all these bacteria, all these different micro organisms do, and why they do it.
So thank you for that, looking forward to the next episode!
This is acceptable.
I wish channels like these had more subscribers. A sorry state of affairs when STEM videos are drowned out by YT's algorithm. Do keep up the good work, guys. Captivating, well-narrated, and just overall fascinating stuff!
We just have to engage more with the STEM videos to influence the algorithm
@Xenro66 Shut up MrBeast is a great guy :/
Check out the 'documentary' "Idiocracy"... it's horrifying...
@Shufei the dude planted a fuck ton of trees atleast
@@M50A1 Yeah, and that's cool and all, but with his presence he also detracts from a lot of the way more important (and arguably cooler) stuff that is out there on UA-cam. And if he were gone from UA-cam it would barely add back to the popularity of educational vids. The issue is just that UA-cam needs to get it's shit together and decide what it really wants on this platform. The thing they don't realize is that there is a very large market right now for educational content - a lot of people would want to watch these vids just as much as they want to watch monkey hijinks - it just hasn't been tapped into. But they don't see that, and are content with the money they're making now with humans doing monkey shenanigans. And it's sad, cus the only people that can do anything are those who benefit from monkey shenanigans, so they just won't do anything.
I recognized it as an oomycete five seconds in, but I did work on them for two years so somewhat of a niche skill.
Wow, I didn't even know that stuff like this had a name. I'd do my own research into it, but since an expert is here do you have any resources that would be good at explaining more about oomycetes? I'd really like to know more about this stuff.
@@-butterfly-594
my experience is via plant pathology in my master's program i did research on phytophthora infestans (Late blight) and pseudoperonospora cubensis (Downy mildew). Most of my work was from the plant side, trying to develop more resistant cucumbers (I helped with the tomatoes, but it wasn't my personal project).
On the other hand there were two researchers, one post doc, one Master's student who were researching hibernation, mating behaviors, and trait hereditary in pseudoperonospora cubensis.
I don't know where you geographicly or educationwise, but my path was doing a B.sc in biotechnology (biology/botany are fine too), and see if you can find a master's program in phytopathology.
There are many scientific papers on the subject if you are just interested, and academic study books as well (PM me if you want help finding stuff or more specific information).
tomer chen my first thought was: morula? but I knew that didn’t make sense at all
@@tomerlivechen interesting, what is the incubation time while it was in the Dafnia egg? It seems weird it comes out as a goo and then forms. Obviously it's in the egg to get nutrients for this transition seen in the video, but if they are individual cells forming in the membrane how does it originally know to come out of the egg and form a membrane?
Asked in an easier way: If this is stage 3 of the parasites cycle, what is stage 2?
@@joshjbradburn I don't know this specific species of oomycete, but this stage was preceded by either an oospore or a zoospore stage, which both can be carried by wind and water. Oospores of psudopiranodpora cubensus have been shown to survive in the soil for ten years until they find a host, and survive unhatched multiple heating, watering and drying cycles. Zoospores are shorter lived they usually hatch (if they find a host) or die within two weeks.
But this species might have a different conveyance method , maybe the infect the adult Dafia, maybe they can chemosens the dafnia eggs in liquid. I'm completely unfamiliar with this specific species.
Or maybe they are a generalist and can infect a wide range of insects (with oomycete genetics, that wouldn't surprise me).
Wow, that was spectacular! We, for the most part, walk about tending to our everyday, mundane lives oblivious to the life and death drama taking place all around us, Thank you for bringing this to us that we may witness these struggles of beings we otherwise may never know.
16:42 I imagine little jumpy guy in the right corner has a voice like that crab in Hitchhiker's Guide, "Whee! Hey! Hello! Whatcha doin? Havin' fun... gus? okabye" and by 16:52 it's over.
Yay science!
You have gotten so good at narratively weaponizing that bouncy track you use to punctuate important moments. 7:30
What is it it's naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmeeee
It reminds me of that track on Vsauce every time a new question gets posed.
@@DeamonD its custome
I want this track please.
@@samuelr.6046 Yeah, but I want it anyways so that I can extract parts and use it for my own purposes. Maybe I'll try to learn how to filter out the talking out of quieter segments, which I've seen some people do before. If I ever do figure that stuff out I'll see if I can post it on a vid on the channel.
That was totally off the microbial charts! Looks like the parasitic Oocyete, if that's what is was, siphoned cytoplasm in order to obtain the materials & energy needed to produce more cells before breaking apart. The biology of life is truly amazing................. 👍👍
From the absolute bottom of my heart, thank you for this one.
I love Hank's excitement when the zoospores begin dispersing. So unapologetic
Thank you for making my wait in the jurors lounge more enjoyable and educational
I love parasites. I mean, not a huge fan of the ones that cause blindness and stuff in humans, but in nature, parasitism is fascinating and cool. I like endosymbiotic relationships too. There's just something beautiful to me about an organism perfectly adapted to living in the ecosystem that is a living being without killing it (it may not always work out that way in practice, but in general at least that's the "goal").
If you haven't already read it, I bet you'd like "Parasite Rex" by Carl Zimmer. Very enjoyable book.
I agree it's fascinating, but it always gives me an icky feeling. I feel slightly violated on behalf of the host. It's so unwholesome and invasive. Bleh.
@@anne-droid7739 I have not read it yet, but I'll check it out. Thank you for the recommendation!
@@smaakjeks Maybe I'm just weird, but to me, certain kinds of disgust are actually enjoyable. Not all kinds, certainly, but you know how people say love and hate are similar? I don't really get that, personally, but to me, disgust is a little bit similar to humor, joy, lust and even love. The boundaries between emotions aren't clear cut. And yeah, there is a little bit of instinctive disgust to thinking about parasites, but in my opinion it's the good kind, the kind that feels gross in a fun way.
@@argenteus8314 Like popping a zit, or blowing your nose and then checking the contents?
I could watch this for hours. Between the awesome visuals, the music selection and Hank's relaxing voice dropping in and out...perfection.
This was amazing! Best 23 minutes I've spent in a long time. Watching real life dramas unfold in the microcosmos is so mesmerizing.
Weird parasite discovered - check
You guys blow my mind every time you release a video, but this one may have irreparably damaged my cranium. This is the best Christmas present a girl could ask for.
Microbiology never really interested me in school (beyond tardigrades), despite my voracious appetite for all things science. It always seemed slow and unengaging, requiring masses of memorization for very little understanding. This channel has completely changed that for me, and I now gobble up this stuff like it’s water and I’m dying of thirst. When I heard that my one true messiah, Hank Green, was making a new channel I was clearly going to check it out, but I was skeptical that the subject matter would keep me interested past a video or two. This is now, hands down, my favorite channel on UA-cam. Thank you so much for bringing the microcosmos to life for me. My greatest hope is that teachers everywhere are taking full advantage of this resource, and are showing this in classrooms across the world. If I had been shown this stuff in middle school or high school, I honestly might have chosen it as a career. Once again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Yo, this is extremely wholesome and heartwarming!
Anyone who likes plants should check out Tony Santoro on Crime pays but botany doesn't", somewhat less "wholesome" but educational & entertaining anyway!
For sure, Katie; Tony is a hoot! Good suggestion.
@@KJensenStudio would love to see his channel grow, he truly appreciates the beautiful things in this world.
This comment is just so good and nice and wholesome! I'm a middle schooler, but this stuff really confirms that I want to go into science, regardless of all the more tiring and tedious parts of it (like all the complex math and higher level calculus!). Nothing - not video games, not other UA-cam content, not Reddit, not politics - nothing ever gets me quite as excited and engaged as good science.
And I like comments like yours, since they just reaffirm that I'm not alone in thinking like that, and that there's a good community of scientists or science enthusiasts for me to associate with.
Thank you for these videos, not only they are extremely educational but they're also entrancing and enjoyable. Love the colors, vibes and the sensation these videos evoke. The simple fact that I'm staring at life-forms there are literally crawling around me, living, eating and dying, just raises a sense of awareness of how complex our reality truly is.
Do James's recordings ever lead to something ""properly"" scientific, such as papers etc? Bc I remember him saying that he might be one of the first people to record tardigrade sex, and this seems to be something uncommon as well
I'm kinda curious can people use UA-cam videos in their science papers in case there's too little records of the event?
@@dandanthedandan7558 maybe not UA-cam videos, but James records hours of footage for each video, so that might be enough
@@yuvalne cool
@@dandanthedandan7558 if it's a video documenting the phenomenon, then it can be cited for added context
@@comatose1818 I feel like in the modern world, this is close enough to an official source to be useful in scientific research. You can't deny that a really cool (while morbid) phenomenon just occured and was recorded for potentially the first time in humanity's history. That's close enough, I think, to something like a proof of concept study that introduces a new phenomenon.
21:26 that little cell sounds so happy, how do you give a parasite emotions
The egg was rushed to a hospital afterward, but there was insufficient material left inside for an omlet...
That is one of the most fascinating things I’ve ever watched - thank you so much for showing it in it’s entirety and in real time - with limited (but excellent) narration.
I’m so glad this came up in my recommendations - subscribed.
I love the concept of posting videos of rare and amazing events in the microcosmos caught on camera. I hope they continue throughout and after the structured educational videos
I very much liked the long, unedited episode. Longer episodes with less narration and more time to observe the micro-goings on is peachy in my book. (Edit: I do very much enjoy Hank's voice, so definitely keep that forever)
*Oomycetes. Always ruining the mood when you're just about to get your girl to lay her egg sac. I hate those things!*
OK, Cartman.
I mean, you did get to eat the leftovers, could be worse!
Hey, no hate. Just a fun guy trying to parasitize your egg sac so he can lay all his jigglies!
I know that feel bro
*I can agree to an extent. Although I don't lay eggs.*
Those are called water fungus, it's a type of Protozoan but relates to a fungus. When the Oomycete became something like zoospore, the phase is called Plasmodium, I think...
Knowledge bomb.
I think...
Oomycetes (aka water mold) are not related to fungi at all (also stated in the video). Oomycetes are in the SAR group and thus more related to plants, while fungi are ophistokonta just like animals.
You might be thinking of plasmodia of slime molds which are completely different organisms all together (neither fungi nor oomycete). It's a bit unfortunate that so many different species are called "molds" while they are unrelated to each other.
That was absolutely amazing, thank you for taking us with you.
*Always cherish your strange goop, mortals!*
^What he said
Yep
so glad I didn't skip through. That was indeed fascinating.
Same here, I had intended to skip through but found I had to watch the whole thing.
Best video by far. Thank you Journey to the Microcosmos family. It’s hard work, I can imagine. Thank you. It’s my get away from life for a few minutes. Please don’t stop making these videos.
This channel is just amazing. I remember when I was a kid I was fascinated by the strange drawings of the microscopic world. Seeing it in videos of such quality just blows my mind. You deserve many more subscribers. Bravo !
Hey i have a minor quality of life suggestion, when showing the magnification have a small eye ball along with it representing whether the organism can be seen with the naked eye or not. A line goes through it if we cannot see it or it just doesnt show seeing as most of these things cant really be seen with the naked eye. Ive done experiments on daphnea so i know i can somewhat see those with the naked eye so its like itll never show
If this channel doesn’t win a million awards I’ll iron my own face. While BBC does the millionth natural history program on large animals, this show still genuinely fills me with wonder. And I even work in a microbiology insititue!
Fantastic! I'll bet this is the only footage of this event anywhere. I found it very exciting! Thank you.
That was incredible! I'm so glad you posted this
What was the point of the membrane? Why not just release the spores directly from the egg? What did they need 20 minutes inside the membrane for?
They clearly changed dramatically from a single amorphous blob to well developed individuals, so my guess is the membrane helps protect them and maintain a stable environment for that process. If they are strong enough to break the membrane, they are probably strong enough to survive outside of it. That said, this is just a guess on my part, but I would put good money on it.
The spores go from goopy and shapeless as they are escaping the egg to much more rigid and with a clearly defined shape that looks kind of like a þ . Maybe it's there for protection while they undergo this transformation or to coordinate the timing so that they are released all at once?
My take is, it didn't need explanation and that it may have many benefits to doing so. Evolution doesn't really plan things. The membrane probably protected more of the daughters than non-membraned ones and hence was carried genetically onward. I would be interested in finding out what its benefits are tough. Anyone? 😊
@Jacob Turnbaugh Fair point.
@Jacob Turnbaugh You can see the membrane clearly at the beginning. Then, when it is small, the membrane is thick and not stretched too thin - it looks like a pale circle surrounding the 'poop' that comes out of the egg, before the 'poop' turns from sludge into discrete organisms that have shape and form and motion.
This is extraordinary. Amazing job James!
Perfectthat you left this full length. Seeing one of your videos in my feed is always a happy treat, this really good, almost like watching a mystery
The things you show us are unspeakably beautiful :-)
It looks like a ball of pure evil
Is 🤢 disgusting
It's as close to pure evil as it (a biological thing with no understanding of good or bad) can get, I think. It doesn't really do much except infect, kill, then reproduce, and although it's interesting, it's pretty evil imo.
You were once almost exactly like this ball.
Coronavirus?
@@jeffd3811 No! These spores are *alive*
Virus' are not, and has never been alive!
They are worlds apart.
Wow. Just, WOW. Thank you Hank. Thank you James. :) You help to continue my intrigue into the depths of the unknown on this fascinating small scale. So much appreciation for your careful work.
That was amazing! I really enjoyed watching this evolve and would like to see more like this. Thank you for sharing this!
Loved this. By far my best holiday present so far.
WOW! This, like all the videos on this channel and Jam's Germs, was mind-blowing and eye opening. Thank you so much for sharing this and everything you do (looking at you Hank). I discovered this channel last night and watched the first video, today I've been watching for the last several hours and my life has been affectively changed. Over the last year my eyes have been opened to the beautiful complex web of life on this planet and I am so grateful for tools, like this channel, that help me explore even further. So I say again, thank you so so much.
Yes. This channel has truly changed the way I see the world. It is true genius.
Do more things like this! Never be afraid to try something new, but you know that. You guys always fo such an amazing job, it's easy to trust that you will pick the right format to share the shareable. Happy Holidays and thanks!
Best 20 mins I've spent for a while. Thanks. :)
I had this playing in another tab while I was doing something else and forgot I got absolutely entranced in that music you played. That was wonderful.
I like this new format. It's very chill and relaxing. I'd love to see more of this type of content on the channel every once in a while.
I really enjoyed slowing down to the pace of the action, and I appreciate that you didn't speed it up. UA-cam offers speed controls, so viewers can speed it up if they want, but there's value in slowing down and enjoying nature on its terms.
Every time I watch this it seems more amazing! The mysteries of life boggle my mind! Thank you!!!!!
Oh. my god !!
That was just wonderful, finally seeing what was only read and seen in photographs, now I could see it with patience and attention.
This is just one of the things I love about Microbiology. There's so little we know about it. I'd love to get my hands on pond water some day and catch something happening on the same confusing level.
This is the wholesome, overwhelmingly awesome content I’m here for.
I really love those entire channel, Spore really got me into microbiology, and the music in this is almost exactly the same as the cell stage, so thank you for giving me nostalgia
This was a lovely christmas present! I would love to see more of this style of video, where the master of microscopes just happens to notice something interesting and we get to watch it, in real time, with occasional commentary! This is the perfect format to put on when you want to just chill and not really do anything in particular, or when you want to go to sleep but need something calming like the music and the visuals here tend to be, along with the way the voice over person, whose name I don't know off hand, speaks being incredibly calming.
Well that was absolutely stunning.
Please tell me you will be doing more of this long form unedited video as this was amazing and transfixing.
This was a delight. Thanks for being a bit bold and sharing what is, in my opinion, the most fascinating video yet released on this channel--which is saying something. :)
That. Was. Incredible. SO fascinating. Thanks for doing something different!
I learned a lot of stuff in this. How to properly pronounce the two O's in "oocyte" for one! Also that I can put "weird goopy things" in with "things that may act like fungus." I think this was both fascinating and...kinda gross, but in a fun way? I definitely appreciated the delicate choice of words there, with "evacuation." My word choice would have been...let's say, less scientific, haha.
This was really quite intriguing and an interesting change of pace, literally. Good thing you hit that record button!!
Yeah, everything down to the tone of each word is carefully chose to be meaningful and thought-provoking, which is what most educational media should be like.
Also, I'm fairly certain that zoophytes has the same pronunciation on the "oo," which makes normal people like us confused cus it looks like "zoo."
It looks like one gets stuck inside the membrane after it's burst. If that's the case, I find it astounding that only 1 gets stuck! I would've thought it would be more like fish in a plastic bag; as likely to tangle the membrane closed as they are to find an exit
You are underestimating biochemical surfaces
The video is perfect, the music is perfect, the commentary is perfect. And those little creatures are beautiful.
That was breathtaking, thank you!
I'm so glad I listened to Joe Scott's podcast episode with Hank where they mentioned this channel. I hadn't heard of it and it's quickly becoming one of my favorites. This video was absolutely stunning, great work on the visuals. I also loved the music / sound effects, it really added a lot to the video.
It is incredibly awesome! I just had an exam on mycology, and my friend had a question about oomycetes... Now you just have to do a video about cladocera (water fleas), by the way!
Hello wonderful person! Did you have a stressful day? Busy with christmas preparations? These are your well deserved 23 minutes of relaxation today! Grab a snack and a drink and enjoy!
Paul Paulson thank you, I needed this
@@kitsunecookie372 Might I then also recommend videos by Corning Museum Of Glass? They have 90 minute videos of people blowing glass. Super relaxing.
Not gonna lie, it's been a rough week. The music is nice, and learned something new, however.
Thanks! I did exactly that

Thanks for uploading this!!! 😍
This is an excellent change of pace, but please know that I very much enjoy the standard structure of your videos as well. This was excellent, as I had a layover traveling and so had plenty of time to kill. Typically, that's not so. Keep up the excellent work, Happy Holidays!

I love it! I've never seen anything like that before and I like that I got to see the whole thing unfold. Everything on this channel is so interesting, I wish all the episodes were longer. I know they take a lot of work though. Thank you for taking us on this journey!
I just spent 20 minutes watching mold grow. And I enjoyed it.
Fascinating! ! Thank you for sharing ♡
Eating during watching a video was, finally, a moderately bad idea.
This was FANTASTIC. I enjoyed watching it in real time. Question: we have learned on this journey that protozoans are loosely organized based on movement - ciliates, amoeboids, flagellates, and sporozoan - the last one that we couldn't see because it was always parasitic and "we choose not to keep them around" (How Do Protozoa Get Around?, Aug 5,2019) So did we just see sporozoans, or are these flagellates? So excited to learn~!
I'm no expert on protist phylogeny. But Oomycetes are not flagellates, since the only time they present flagella is in the zoosporic phase. There we also have a flagellate phase, lower fungi have one too. But it doesn't count since it is not their dominant phase as opposed to say Euglenoids.
Please never stop doing what you are doing. Narration.... Fantastic!
I like that you let us experience it with your initial confusion and wonder for a while, before revealing your findings. Very neat :)
You should record a bacteriaphage killing a bacteria! I'v always wanted to know how it looks like
Yep. That's kinda out of the question. Bacteriophages are viruses, much smaller than bacteria. Bacteria are incredibly small, mere dots or lines even at 1,000x. So such a virus will never be visible using light microscopy. It would be really nice to have an electron microscope though.
@@microbe_guru ... and to have your precious organisms metallized for a microscope - it's a must unfortunately, so by the time you are viewing it - your organisms are dead...
Well atleast we can see the bacteria sort of vomit out all of it’s insides!
@@jupa7166 Exactly.
uriel garciagbj : There is no thing like 'live-electron-microscopy'. Everything you see in TEM & SEM are actually more like 'imprints' of the speciment, lots of structure has been lost in the preparation. F.i. cant any water be inside the column of a SEM, it will explode! That can harm the equipment. Generally- you will never see any soft tissue, it will either be dissolved, or it will be vaporized. The final preparation is a one atom thick layer of carbon, and one layer of gold atoms!
Now the electrons has something to bounce on, and can then be caught in the detector, and *that* is what you see on the image.
It takes a whole days work to prepare a speciment for an Electron-microscope!
nice video!!
did anyone else notice a jumpcut around 20:11?
1sleepygirl editor’s note: that cut existed in the original footage, I didn’t randomly cut the clip
I try to record things like this in parts just in case of corrupt files. So that moment I stopped recording and started it right away again. :)
Really enjoyed the calm of this. Great narration and great music! Subbed
Thank you for providing us the opportunity to journey to the microcosm with you.
Merry Christmas!
The most wondrous channel on youtube
Whether or not this format was the incorrect decision, this is probably my favorite episode so far. I love all these videos, though, and am ever grateful that it all exists. Thank you.
Wonderful stuff! Thank you!
So totally on board for more videos like this, too! Keep up the amazing work! Happy New Year! ♡
