Paramecium eating pigmented yeast

As the paramecium stuffs itself with a meal of pigmented yeast, vacuoles form. As food particles are digested by acidic enzymes, the congo red will reveal the pH drop-color will shift from a more alkaline red, to a more acidic blue.

Does there exist a book about all species of micro-organisms? Because I'm getting a microscope soon and I'll put things like a drop of ditch water under it and such. Or are 'micro-organisms' too general for a book?

@Shydrasnake The title that come to my mind is called "How to know the protozoa" H.E. Jaques. I was using a really old edition dated 1949. They probably have newer editions by now but that was the title of the guide I used to learn most of what I know at this point.

i just got a microscope and got water from a steam and looked at it but all of the creatures are dead. Do u have any suggestions where to get stuff?

@chaosarcee Still water works best. Try a pond or a really old puddle. If it's stinky, that'll tip you off to the fact that "somebody is passing gas" & you should find someone in there. Good luck.
