would james be interested in talking on an episode? would be intersted to hear about a species from the person who finds them. or an episode about james' setup?
2:10 "It's a new species in its genus." Forgive me if I mistaken, but did you guys massively bury the lede?! Did James discover a new species!? Did he get to name it‽ These are the questions, my friends.
Oh my, the striations on this Apertospathula. Beautiful beautiful microscopy. Breathtaking :-). All these quiet little microcosmoses going about their tiny tiny lives... so tiny and so full of life. While we in our mesocosmos go on about ours. Stunning.
Anaerobic microbes can thrive in aquariums where the substrate isn't vacuumed. You can see and smell hydrogen sulfide bubbles when the substrate is disturbed. It's not enough to be toxic or even seemingly bothersome to freshwater fish, as many people with planted aquariums have this issue as we don't tend to vacuum our substrates. I wonder if any of my aquariums have ever had any of these rare critters who might have come in on a plant or piece of driftwood.
Wow, this Channel ist getting more and more interesting. The overall videography is just outstanding! One question: Are you shure that's autofluorescence of the Apertospathula cyst, or do we see a specimen stained with two fluorescent dyes? As far as I know you can use specific fluorescent staining methods to mark the nucleus (blue) and other organelles (green or orange-red).
You know what would be an absolutely wild treat if it's possible to get, if you could get samples from around a deep sea vent to check out the insane shit that lives around those, that would make for a pretty mind blowing episode. Likely too expensive and difficult, tho.
They state in the paper linked in the video description (on the Frontier Sin website) that it is a new species but they don't seem to have published it formally with a name and full description yet.
@@pattheplanterThank you! We need some more techniques to publish it. Like silver impregnation, which I refuse try at home since the chemicals are carcinogen. I worry about my cats. :D But we will manage soon!! -James
Makes people think, not sure about what. But think - spiritually. It is the best word I t can come up with. What exactly is 'spiritually'? Not sure... We are not sure about a lot of things. But we have enough to observe, closeup like in this video, or at a great distance like out there 🌌 and further/deeper. Thinking passively, like in that time is constantly passing... but without knowing what time, day, year it is. But we have to eventually acknowledge a time, label it. Because we are the most "organized" species here in the human world. Feeling a bit humbled, seeing the tiny ciliate. The Paramecium is not here, but wants camera time in another video I saw.
Hey Michael Cosmos please suggest to James the next time he sells up the slide He doesn't mind making it a permanent slide to use crazy glue to seal it very very carefully and that will seal it pretty much permanently unless you use like nail polish remover to open it And like and so it can be opened but it's a little bit more safer than you can just Vaseline. and he wants to use the gel not the liquid sometimes it's called gorilla glue. hope that helps if he wants to keep his little specimen hopefully longer than 34 days and doesn't allow it to escape I know he didn't do it on purpose.
Thank you! It's not a permanent slide. Microbes needs to be alive to observe them for a longer period of time. Sealing the slide with vaseline keeps everything alive, while allowing minimal gas exchange. :) And any kind of glue turns the water toxic for most microbes right away. :) -James
@crowjane2168 objectively, sure. But there's a difference between knowing something objectively and truly understanding it. I think people often discount much of the positive difference they [themselves] make or don't realise how much positive impact they can have on the lives of the people they inspire. As a culture and as a society I think we often focus more easily on our mistakes while forgetting to acknowledge the good we've done.
The music mixing was different with that drumming beat for the one scene. I did not care for it, and found it distracting. Perhaps because it was so different from the theme and music before and after.
I could never be a biologist. Just the idea that they end up killing and torturing everything they are supposed to care about. You know, just see how it suffers.
Aw, it's not hank speaking :( I've never liked when yall bring on new hosts. I've been watching scishow since it was only hank hosting, and never liked any of the new hosts. I only want hank.

this!
There is no guy named James. Big conspiracy. I'll believe it when I see him.
@@davidhand9721I've watched the old live streams, he exists. He also has an Instagram. Sorry to burst your bubble.
He does have a UA-cam channel I belive and has also shared stuff over on the microscopy reddit!
Yes I would like an interview from him also

beautiful video! james is the coolest! his work makes me love the world of microbes more and more

You guys should live stream. I would have that on 24/7
Haha "resting cyst phase."
This will be my new way to describe a low-energy day
3:02 this guy looks like he's doing a barrel roll.
I wonder how much room there is under the slide. A large circular organism, as seen from here, seems like it's being smashed flat
Do a barrel roll
Deboki has such a lovely, soothing voice! I wish she would host more often.
Such a beg
@@ok2366 What does that mean?
This channel deserved so much more attention.. thank you so much for giving us access to the beauty of the microcosm ❤
My mushroom tea kicked in 5 minutes before this showed in my feed...oh maaaaate 🤯
Mushroom tea?!!
Yeah, it’s magic!

Nock nock
Who's th...
Pernardiella Interrupta.
This joke would have been even better if it had got sillier.
I spelled "knock" wrong and nobody has corrected me. I thought that's what the comment section was really all about...
LOL

Would like to see someone take a microscope into the intertidal zone and observe the microscopic environment in the wild.
How did you do that link ⁉️
The music is exactly what exactly I would hear as a musician/composer if I was a microbe in a microcosmosos

Thank you! That's the autofluorescence of the methanogenic archaea. I don't do fluorescent staining yet but maybe soon! :D

It’s odd to watch microcosmos without Hank Green’s voice. Although I’m not mad.
Really cool, worth watching agin.
Beautiful and educational video as always! ❤️
Great job James.
Really informative video!
6:45 Does anyone else feel bad for it? It was so happy and moving around at first. That transition is horror right there.
Did the Microcosmos team describe an entirely new organism with the apertospathula?
They state in the paper linked in the video description (on the Frontier Sin website) that it is a new species but they don't seem to have published it formally with a name and full description yet.

@@JamsGerms Have you seen the fuss about Frontiers In publishing an AI generated paper that was a complete pile of nonsense and image horror?
@@JamsGerms hydra is coo
6:02 beautiful ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ (I guess this is the tragedy of the commons why would I give you three stars? Someone should make a video about that)
How do I get a microscope to look like this? phase contrast and DIC with a blue filter??
That is very good videography, thanks for sharing. Charles
Great episode
Apertospathula reminds me of Pseudoblespharisma, they kind of look similar and both have bacterial endosymbionts too.
My dyslexic brain definitely thought the title card was "Asshole new species"
bruh
Hello - I am interested in purchasing one of your microscopes, when will you have more come in stock ? thanks
I wish you would have shown the species descriptions
did someone say it was shaped like a slipper? 4:40 is A
Another great episode!
How do these rare specimens reproduce? If sexually, meetings must be quite rare!
Anyone else ready to make Resting Cyst Phase a meme?
Can you make a video on viruses journey to the microcosmos.
What caught my imagination is the perfection of life itself, the process we call life, the intimate reflections of DNA at work.
When will yall microscope come back in stock?
A microbe is rare when it hasn’t been cooked very well

6:44 don't starve them.
what are the steps to claiming a species was undiscovered? I've found plenty that I can't identify..
How in the hell can you tell these microbes apart!? They all look so similar 😂
Makes people think, not sure about what. But think - spiritually. It is the best word I t can come up with. What exactly is 'spiritually'? Not sure...
We are not sure about a lot of things. But we have enough to observe, closeup like in this video, or at a great distance like out there 🌌 and further/deeper.

Feeling a bit humbled, seeing the tiny ciliate. The Paramecium is not here, but wants camera time in another video I saw.
Thanks so much!💚 I really love and appreciate all the work that goes into this channel🔬🦠
Damn, those new species are a-wholes
Undercooked?

Vocal fry. Aaaaaargh.
Excelent
Woooo
hooray!
Please come up with a name for this microbe
Do you guys realize the impact and importance of what you do? The number of people you inspire?
At the risk of answering a rhetorical question; given that they have access to granular data on the views of each video, yes, they do.

This seems like a good educational video but not ASMR as it used to be :(
lol, no seriously, i laughed out loud just reading that this seems like a regular educational video part.
@@eewilson9835 oh I didn't realize how it came off. I corrected my sentence.
I leave mistakes, its highlighting the hypnosis of the microcosmos.@@isstinna
Where's Hank?
I like the dudes voice better
Narrating or guestionING ?
I could never be a biologist. Just the idea that they end up killing and torturing everything they are supposed to care about. You know, just see how it suffers.
So what happened to evolution. It was supposed to be more complicated species from less complicated species. Oh Oh look a brand new species of zit.
less than 30 seconds a side...
BS BS BS BS BS BS BS BS BS BS .
Aw, it's not hank speaking :( I've never liked when yall bring on new hosts. I've been watching scishow since it was only hank hosting, and never liked any of the new hosts. I only want hank.
She’s a periodically reoccurring host and the writer for the program, so not new. Hank has an involved life; he doesn’t owe you narration.
7:30 :- that's a good cover up story. The micro police will never find out the truth of his month long torture and starvation ⛓️⏲️😂
