Soil Food Web CYCLING: a Nematode vs Giant Testate Amoeba!! Never Before Seen Footage!!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 มี.ค. 2024
- This was an incredible moment in the filming of Regenerative Soil Microscopy, and I just had to share the footage and shoot a new video around it for you all. It's never-before-seen footage - there's no images of this in the literature or from any of my mentors. AND this breaks down the walls around what is and isn't omnivorous: it has bacterial feeder mouthparts but it if it encounters smalls spores it'll eat those too, AND it's either hurting the amoeba, eating the amoeba, or in the very least ruining that testate amoeba's day, BUT it may also be that they are like clams and they filter feed and then close reflexively. SO MUCH MORE TO EXPLORE!!! That's the reason we're going to have the R-Soil Database in 2024 - stay tuned for that!!

Thank you for sharing with us Matt, as well as your excitement. awesome research 👍
That was so insanely cool i yelled in my kitchen
Amazing "soil scientists" have been preaching NPK for over 60 years, then pushing petrochemical fertilizers.
All along it's the soil microbiome that matters the most. Thank you Matt
Way to help us grow, Powers! RH
Thank you for sharing this Matt! Very cool milestone to catch on video and you were the first!
Once the database is up we'll have so much more of the picture as my students and more signup and contribute images and video. We'll be able to map out way more and understand the nuance of occurrences like this.
That's an amazing shot. I think the nematode outgrew the Amoeba's mouth. Brings a new perspective to sleeping with your mouth open!
Love this Matt Thank you for the share ❤
Amazing!
So cool. Congrats love learning from you
I just ordered the book. I am a longtime gardener, but new in my journey to really understand the soil.
Thank you for ordering a book!! I hope you can join us LIVE later today: matt-powers.mykajabi.com/soilmicroscopybreakthroughs
Thanks Matt that was amazing what ever was going on the nematode got rather flustered.
Thank you for sharing this breakthrough and contexting why this matters, Matt! There's so much more to come, with the momentum of interest here AND graduates of your course, both the professionals and citizen-scientists, who contribute to the R-Soil Database!
So cool we need to invent a new word for this level of break through sharing! Thank you ! You inspire many of us to keep trying and learning!
So cool.
Let's goooo. That's awesome congrats Matt keep going
This is so amazing
At first, I thought it was a macroscopic clam until Mr. Powers mentioned it was two specimens.
Could you get some footage of microbes reacting to petrochemical fertilisers?
Excellent idea - thank you Caspian!
Amazing hard work has amazing rewards. Great job Matt
Thank you Norman!
Mat Power is amazing
Great footage Matt, but plenty of sources note these testate amoeba nematode interactions: "Some testate amoebae are also able
to ingest and feed on nematodes" (Yeates and Foissner
1995) "The nematodes are mainly attacked from the
tail end. Again, it is not known how important this trophic
interaction is in the environment, but the authors
note that many extracted nematodes from the studied
soil appeared to have tail damages resembling those inflicted
by the testate amoebae. This suggests that this
interaction could be of significance in sites with high
abundance of testate amoebae (e.g. moist forest litter
or bogs)." Rønn, Vestegård and Ekelund 2012. Also have a look at "Pack hunting by a common soil amoeba on nematodes". by Geisen, Rosengard, et al 2015
Play it back - I said images and video of this, not the information itself. The soil food web is a concept from the 80s and cycling is even older. My own published work also has quotes to the same effect above.
Mat Powers, do you have a sweater with the same images on the t-shirt you are wearing?
How about a hoodie? the-permaculture-student-wear.creator-spring.com/listing/regenerative-soil-microbes-are?product=227
I have t-shirts and other clothing on this site - some options are organic!
maybe it is eating the bad organelle. kind of like birds eating on the teeth of hippoes.

Bacteria Nematodes amoebas, O My! There aren’t any vegans in this video! Lol❤
I’m an omnivore so I like to eat everything I’ll try not to be too hard on any groups with my comments!
