Binary fission Euglena

[masterkung1231]

I swear the whole video I was just saying "JUST SEPARATE ALREADY" haha...

[THE1STGAMESTUD]

this is boring\(

[idiotkrati]

How did you record this from the microscope?

[wxfix]

@idiotkrati I used a phoenix trinocular scope with a photo port where I could simply plunk my camera. However you can always get an "F mount" and attach a camera to the eyepiece. That is if you are interested in "trying this at home"

[idiotkrati]

@wxfix thanks for your replay, I was just curious. Good job, and thank you for the video.

Crazy asexual music!

[Thilakthesvr09]

Cooooool!!!

[halo091000]

Euglena go through a process called mitosis not to be confused with binary fission

[TheJourneyEnd]

my god why dun u just seperate ?! roar feel like hlping thm ...

[emogirlzdudulz]

@TheJourneyEnd me too..I thought they will separate

but in the end they've never separated haha

mingin

[rfdealmeida1]

About the entire process, how long does it take?

[MaeradOfPellinor]

This was awesome! The music drove me half mad, but the video was really neat!! thanks for posting!

I have just started my hobby of the compound light microscope, and I am very stuck on finding literature on making permanent slides can you help. I have subscribed.

[ccisar9]

Hot stuff.

[amax7895]

What kind of water did you use? Where did you get it??

[bucketsofcheeserock]

How do you get stuff like this on a slide?

[wxfix]

I use a little plastic pipetter. An eyedropper works too. 1 or 2 drops is sufficient.

[bucketsofcheeserock]

drops of what!?!?

[killingyou22]

i would like to see more on virus replication

[wxfix]

Unfortunately, I don't have the capabilities to record viruses doing anything. (They're way too small) If you do a search, somebody on here might have the equipment for it.

[dadfdfada]

love the song

[immanueldk92]

Is it just me, or did it seem like it floated away at 2:58

[wxfix]

I lost one of the comments. For that individual, this protozoa is a free living animal. Usually found in ponds around Virginia southward in the wild. They are unique in that they have both chloroplasts in which to photosynthisize, and they also eat bacteria.

[chives2]

if it eats bacteria its a protozoa surely? and having a nucleus would not under go binary fission but prophase metaphase and all that, im confused, does it have a nucleus?

[wxfix]

Yes. Euglena is kind of unique because it contains chloroplasts as well. This means they also undergo photosynthesis and create their own food via light just like plants. You are correct that it is eukaryotic. It does have a nucleus, It is a single celled organism, so they do undergo binary fission for reproduction. Mitosis is usually associated with multi-cellular organisms. You poke around youtube a bit and you'll find more advanced stuff. Enjoy!

[EyeLean5280]

I'd like to see it time-lapsed.

[andid]

Everything's time lapsed. I like seeing it in real time, for context.

THIS VIDEO IS WEIRD
