    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.

    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.

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