hi this amphisorus would be relatively "young" as there are a few chambers? why is it brown in the center- are those chambers as well filled with symbionts? does it remove the silica shell from the dinoflagellate?
great video, im currently finishing my masters in marine biology and my research is on Symbiodinium, so this is pretty interesting, is the foraminifer collecting the algae as symbionts for iteself?
Good question. I think that the foram is just collecting material it encounters in its environment. Whether or not adult forams can incorporate exogenous algae as symbionts is one of the subjects I am currently working on.
H as anybody seen this before ? I was at daytona beach at night the waves breaking caused the algae in the water to glow I was told it was the dinoflagellates It was very cool looking We watched for hours
The music is "Gangster's Theme" by RZA from the Ghost Dog soundtrack.
The bioluminescence Darryl saw probably was caused by dinoflagellates. Dinoflagellates make up part of the phytoplankton, but are not krill. Krill are animals.
However, many of them are multi-nucleate and have multiple chambers. Thus forams blur the line between single-cellular and multi-cellular.
Many organisms have continuous cytoplasm like this, including many fungi and algae. Slime molds (not true fungi) like Dictyostelium in particular come to mind since they are giant motile aggregated amoebae.
Our idea of the ideal cell is biased by the fact that we are animals!
awsome video! my names Trinity, kinda feelin bored if any1 wants to join me on cam or wana chat i will be signed on at __ FriendlyFlirts(.COM) __ my user ID there is Trinity_gplerbh chat soon xx its FR33 to j0in! mwah
hello my name is gabriela from mexico im a biology teacher and im interested on adding you video ta a power point presentation for my students, of course giving you the proper credit.
do you think you can send me your video to my email. thank you

Plankton... A type of krill from what I understand.
I love the music in this video, does anyone know what it is?

It seems to draw the algae to itself. do you know why?
thank you for posting the video.
IT is awesome.

I heard that some forams can be 15 cm in length. Is this true, and if so, could you perhaps find a picture of one compared to a human hand?
Thek213 3 years ago
TheK213, I believe the largest ever found was 19cm. But most are less than 1mm.

For a mobile single-celled organism, isn't that rather large?
Thek213 2 years ago
The Largest forams never get much larger then a few cm...

True, but there were fusilinids (now extinct) that were over 10cm long.

Yes, forams are big for single-celled organisms.
However, many of them are multi-nucleate and have multiple chambers. Thus forams blur the line between single-cellular and multi-cellular.
Many organisms have continuous cytoplasm like this, including many fungi and algae. Slime molds (not true fungi) like Dictyostelium in particular come to mind since they are giant motile aggregated amoebae.

I'm a second year university student and we're studying microfossils at the moment so this was a very interesting video :)
Thank you for uploading it!
