    In the microcosmos-where the organisms vastly outnumber us, where what we find in a single pool of water can change from day to day-it makes us as what it mean for a microbe to be rare?

    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).

    • @JamsGerms

    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.

    • @JamsGerms
      @JamsGerms 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      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. :)

    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.

      @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.
