- A lot of the microbes we show you are completely naked, but the test amoeba is a bit more modest.

*Anytime me and my fellow amoeboids are taking the night on the town, we'd always dress in our finest silicate granule clusters and cuticle outer coverings. We were the show stoppers! Then of course, there was always that one streaking amoeba who stole the show, peeling off their proteinaeceous shell and waving it over their cellular membrane and getting the rest of us in trouble! Ah, Good times...*
I love reading your comments.
Hope you’re staying safe and sane in these weird times, Rotifer!
When did the rotifer become a flapper? lol
"waving it over their cellular membrane" That gave me chuckels.
Rotifer is the Justin Y of Journey to the Microcosmos.
'Internal Diatomaceous Vanity' is my new band name now.
What’s gonna be your first song?
... and the Silica Frustules" oh, yeah, I'd buy that ticket. 👏👏👏

Daniel M. I love everything you are.
KaawSauce pause
So if I swallowed one of these amoebas and its shell went through my body unharmed, would you say I... passed the test?
:')
If I dipped my balls in a pond with these amoebas, would you say the quantity of testes in the pond had increased?
More likely - the test passed you...
winner
This post right here officer
From 7:45 onward I had flashbacks to agar.io .. suddenly felt a lot of empathy for that little amoeba in a world full of monsters
7:41: *Photobomb!*
And then again at 9:02!
Do you know what the creature is?
@@quitlife9279 It’s a rotifer, hence @Rotifer’s comment.
*I* mourn the amoeba Hank, every single one of them!
Heh, spotted Mr Rotifer awkwardly in frame near the end!
1:49 Fish used to simply mean "swmmer," and included crustaceans, whales, and even capybaras
OMG.. I think Hank just admitted that all these videos should require age verification. He might be right... I mean, I can see their pseudopods and everything!
Marked as "not for kids" to comply with COPPA.
The thumbnail had me thinking of the caddisfly larvae, with it's cocoon made of selected and positioned granules of sand & pebbles they have artistic little creations.
wow, right as i sat down 10 minutes ago to eat my plate of chicken nuggets, yall upload the video. right on time for my dinner entertainment.
thank you for teaching me about tiny bois while i munch on nuggies
I would love a series where you descibe certain groupings, their traits and their differences. Then, with a bunch of examples, I can maybe finally get them into my thick head.
This might be a solution to social distancing while still be able to move where ever you may. I need to evolve a shell of some sort. Be back after a million years for update.
those victorian era skirts
Isn’t that just a car?
Hamster balls for humans.

Do blankets work?
What often floors me about these videos is that just when I’m understanding how small these single organisms are, there is something many times smaller swimming by showing me just how much smaller things can get.
I want to be a Difflugia (if I wasn't a human), their shells are so pretty!
Well arranged Squish? Blobby Organisms with a shell? I'm going to start referring to things that way cause I love it.
I am going to be a walking billboard for this channel until it gets the # of subs it deserves!
I am learning volumes. Don’t ever stop. Thank you.
I'm getting a microscope for my b day
I think a really cool episode me and many people might find cool is a video on the organisms you wouldnt expect to find in the microcosmos. Ive heard that some fish and insect larvae are microscopic as well. Would be interesting to see how they interact.
Can you do an episode on scale? How much room do they have between the slides of glass. If I were a rotifer how big would the slide be to me, would a moss piglet be dog sized or dragon sized? That would be interesting.
On top of how interesting your videos are. You sir have the most relaxing voice. Keep up the good work.
i love when Hank starts these vids with that fat euglenoid beat. andrew huang did such a great job with these background tracks.
Honestly this stuff is gold.
This was a great episode. One of my favorites. Lot's of new, interesting information and imagery.
How a unicellar organism manages to assemble those rather complex shells out of say, two or three thousand particles it gathers from the environment, selects carefully by its shapes and puts all those particles painstakingly together, is a feat which remains quite the mystery to me.
AMAZING Video, @Journey to the Microcosmos
If there isn't a Silica Frustule on the next season of RuPaul's Drag Race, I quit
Every time I see a cell dividing, I can’t help but to think: we are not only just all related. like the daughter cell and the mother cell can’t be distinguished, we‘re all still that first ever cell, just a few billion years and countless divisions later
I can relate to the amoeba for my interests and hobbies are like a great ocean and I blob into them like a bumbling amorphous pile of understanding.
I also have a protective layer from UV light.
This series ticks me off. At 65 years old, it's only after watching this series that I regret dropping out of high school biology class. lol ✌😎👍
So basically if you wanna leave something to remember you by, start gluing your shell together now! These might be the best times for it to xD
God i love this show, thank you for making it
(S)hell yeah!!! By the way, where is rotifer? I kinda miss him/her...
Busy doing some photobombing, I'd imagine.
Rotifer died from crossfire in a gang war, unfortunately.
Lol, he's actually below you as I have the comments filtered!
Another Astounding production. Thank you .
Thank you for your scientific resources.
Thank you once again for a fascinating program !
I still love the music and still want to know where to find it
It's all by Andrew Huang I think, I don't know where to find it but asking him on twitter might be a place to start? I agree it's awesome!
It's in the video description
It was available as a project for awesome perk in December. I will try to get you a link once they send it out!
@@kf10147 I am so excited for when this perk comes out!
Digging the beats in this one
Listening about amoebas life gives me an existential crisis,
because it's life seems to be more complicated then mine.
Noble Knights of the microcosm.
Great ambience music this vid 🎶
"The universe is fine-tuned for humans!"
"Huh... you don't say... let's test that by sending you and a colony of tardigrades to Mars. The world can watch live which species survives the first exposure to space outside of Earth's magnetosphere. Go get ready! Let's science!"
1:21 donut amoeba 🍩
Its amazing how similar they are to macro organisms like snails, coral, slugs, hermit crabs, and decorator crabs.
Danggit, i was really hoping you'd mention the Paulinella genus of testate amoebas, with it's 3 photosynthetic members (Paulinella Chromatophora, Paulinella Longichromatophora, and Paulinella Micropora. There are other non-photosynthetic members though). Outside of the singular event that resulted in chloroplasts, it's the only known case of primary endosymbiosis with a photosynthetic endosymbiont!
There's an amoeba looking at me...
When I was a baby but big enough to be sneaky and stealthy, I would sneak out to the kitchen in the middle of the night and eat powdered coffee mate. I called this activity The Test.
I love these titles; I cant put my finger on it but they're charming, lol.
Wait...how does a testate amoeba make a little shell for itself without a brain or nervous system? How does it know HOW to do that? And why would it do that without a brain to have the thought about doing that in the first place? And following from that, how do you get reoccurring styles of tests when there is no brain or external communication to create the meme of a test shape or style? MIND BLOWN.
On the smallest scales consciousness isn't required for "decisions" they make a shell because of complex chemical reactions involving proteins that result in a shell. These reactions and proteins exist because of the dna that guides the building/maintenance of the cell. They have that dna bc that's what they are. Life on these scales is so fascinating bc it emerges from the rules of chemistry. If you want to hear more about these concepts I recommend kurzegesagt's videos on consciousness and emergence. They are very well produced and can help you explore these ideas more.
@vexingcomos It's not just DNA. Watch video "What Bodies Think About" to see that the morphology of an organism can be modified without messing with its DNA. E.g. you can make a flatworm grow two heads by modifying some electrical fields in its cells. AND - that's the hammer news - the offspring of this worm will have two heads as well - the change is permanent. Or you can make an embryo of the worm develop into a different type of worm altogether.
I was in dire need of some relaxing Microcosmos talk and you did not disappoint!
How many microbial shells would there have to be in a pile before we could see it with the naked eye?
Great content.
Nature spent well over 2,000,000,000 years refining the cell. What single cells are, what they do, is far more complex and intriguing than what animals or plants do as a community of such cells.
Are the testates found in the micro fossil record?
Damn it Hank your voice is so soothing and relaxing.😲
Can you make the scale marker stretch and squish with the zoom? Or add some markings on it that do? The numbers by themselves are really hard to visualize, and I want to get an intuitive sense of how big things are.
To visualize the numbers on the scale marker better I usually compare them to millimeters, like, 1 mm is 1000 micrometers, so 200 micrometers is 0,2 mm, 500 is half a millimeter, etc.
(Idk if this was useful, i suck at explaining things sorry :v)
Amoeba with Diatom Shell: *YOU CAN'T HANDLE THIS BLING!*
I was sitting on the toilet ans read that as “prostate amoebas”. My heart almost skipped a beat
Cancerous amoebas
Am I the only one who wishes they could be a microorganism right now? Just mindlessly swimming along, consuming, not a care in the world or the ability to worry.
So it’s a microscopic snail. Neat
some of these images look like abstract art
What a great title
There _has_ to be a series of Blu-rays of this.
Everyone else did it.
What's next, David Attenborough does a voiceover?
nice music. i like.
Can’t get enough of those cute blobs 🦠
The last shot is amazing. Would make an awesome zoom out (I know that is hard)
"... microbes, who often seem to be made up of well-arranged squish"
That's the scientific term for it, btw
ephemerally vibin'
Thank you for this seductively beautiful journey into the infectiously intoxicating world of little lives and deaths - it stimulates me so to be given a peek into this floating world I otherwise can only fantasise about!
Would like to see some long form content like a documentary.
Will there be a test on this?
You guys should enter Nikon’s Small World competition.
Want a game of this! like spore.. But its just a better version of the first stage.
I kinda wonder if most microbes are adapted to particular atmospheric pressure and gravity or not.
Hey, kinda off-topic and might well go unseen at this point, but do y'all have any chemosynthetic bacteria? I heard they've been found in hotsprings, so I figured maybe that's a source but idk and keeping them alive would probably be significantly more complicated.. But it would be really cool to see one
It not a bird, it’s a flyer. Such as birds, bats, some dinosaurs, and a very rare type of pig.
Is it me or does arcella's shell look a bit honeycomb like? If I understand 'proteinaceous alveoli,' that implies that there are little bubbles or spheres of protein so a honeycomb arrangement would make sense...
7:30 Is that Arcella the Majora's Mask microbe? Is that my new favourite microbe of all time? I guess it is
So cool
we need a game of microcosmos, where we can learn in a more fun way
You are cool... i wish you to mowe to new horizons...thank you fo videos you make...👍😎🤘
Can we have a video about what a fossilized microbial mat might look like, and how to comprehend what we’re looking at?
0:45 Where can I find a full piece of this amazing bit?
There was one orange amoeba that had a shell made of diatoms, how did that happen?
This would have been perfect for a Zefrank video. He even talked about byirds.
Could difflugia use diamond for its shell?
Great Video Earthling
When I think of an Amoeba I think of Pokémon Uranium's 'Gellin'
Difflugia: the Rococo Amoebas
Where to get info about microbes as I am interested in starting my channel..
what is the name of the music at the beginning
Good script on this one.
What are the fluids moving around inside the amoeba at 0:50 ?
does the background music have a name?
1:55 Gritty is a Flyer as well...
Like a caddisfly. Holy wow Wowee.
Is this what shuckle is?
So basically snails 🐌 in space 🚀!!!!!
Ay john ... Whats the difference between a shell and protective skeleton
You can put shells in a shotgun. HTH.
Could these be the progenitors of snails and other shelled creatures?
