PROTO THREAD (of well... protos?)

In this thread, we shall discuss bacterias and other microscopic organisms....

I like Protozoas. See how baddass they are?

The fungus growing out of my ears need to be watered and mowed...

I'm a big fan of Diatoms.

This protozoa is very pretty. :)

Stentor protozoa (Stentor polymorphus) are single-celled animals that grow to a length of 1.5 to 2 millimeters, much larger than many of their fellow multi-cellular aquatic organisms. Often, stentors will attach the lower portion of their pod to debris and assume the trumpet shape illustrated above. The circle of tiny cilia surrounding the trumpet rim beat continuously and serve to create localized convection currents in the water to draw smaller organisms into the rim or mouth (cytostome). Stentors vary in color, depending upon their diet, but they can appear green, blue, or reddish-yellow.

I feel nerdy because I think this is a very cool and interesting thread.

Psychedelic Protozoas.

Prions are just so nondescript, yet utterly deadly and unkillable. Don't have a picture of course, but they're really nasty. A piece of random DNA that drifts idly then infects someone and gives them Mad Cow Disease and such. Ugh.

I like the friendly bacteria in new Yakult.

I like them whadyamacallems. Hydra, I think?

Yay, I know about bacteria. Well, I ought to, anyway. I like Staphylococcus epidermidis. It's easy to identify...
