Binary fission (The extended version)

A few exciting things about blepharisma .
1)They are generally filter feeders and feast mostly on bacteria.
2)The larger the food eg. Small protozoa such as colpoda and euglena, increases the likelihood of culturing cannibal giants. Stressed conditions such as a dwindled food supply will also give rise to cannibal giants.
3)Although binary fission is the mode of reproduction in a satisfactory environment, conjugation tends to occur in a stressed environment. In stressed environments, multiple conjugation also tends to occur.
It is interesting to note that although conjugate pairs exchange genetic material during the process, sometimes this isn't the case. Sometimes after conjugation, some of the blepharisma actually reproduce via a modified form of parthenogenesis.

:) Incredible! I loved your video, thank you su much! ;)
nice song

What is the name of this song?

@CrowSword There are three general ways bacteria move. Flagella, like the tails of sperm. Spirochetes,are what is known as an axial filament which is an internalized structure which allows the cell to rotate in a spiral-like manner, resulting in locomotion. And Gliding bacteria secrete a copious slime, but the mechanism which allows mobility is still unknown.

I don't get it. Are bacteria so light that they float?

I'm trying to raise my little cannibal giants. Can algae, euglena, and a little bit of stuff give rise to awesome giants?

As long as you feed them protozoa and put a little stress into their environment, you shouldn't have any trouble.

paramecium??
arabianleopard 3 years ago
These are called Blepharisma. It wasn't a pure culture so there probably are some paramecium in there as well. The blepharisma are the pink cillates.
