Why Picocyanobacteria Might Just Outlast All Of Us
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 янв 2024
- In the northeast Atlantic Ocean, plankton populations aren’t looking like they used to. And at the center of it all are tiny, photosynthetic bacteria called picocyanobacteria who may just outlast us all.

How funny I watched this right after the Eons video. Chitin rafting sounds fun!
Im so used to Hank on SciShow that it's really bizarre to have him practically whispering this whole episode compared to how he normally delivers lines in his videos LOL
I arrived here on a raft of chitin by the way!
Yeah, we get that reaction a lot here.
@@TheRogueWolf?
Greetings, fellow picocyanobacteria. I too arrived on a piece of chitinous organic matter. Can you point me in the direction the nearest copapod? My raft is almost gone, I need a new one.
I love this channel so much. It makes me feel so much better no matter what's going on. A little oasis of calm in a big, loud world.
It really is fascinating how there’s this whole little universe that’s rich and diverse but completely oblivious to our reality. Makes me wonder if we are the microbes to some other massive organisms. Our universe might be a Petri dish
@wmpx34 I know, it feels like a real possibility. I have a microscope, and the whole time I'm thinking that these little guys don't know they're being observed. We wouldn't know either.
If I learned one thing from picocyanobacteria, its that i need to start working on my adaptations to the planet heating up.
And exactly how do you p!an on doing that?
I will just die. I am old anyways. Hope the cyanobacteria does well for themselves, they put in the effort they deserve the success,
My takeaway is to diversify your portfolio 😂
Spirulina contains a blue pigment 'phycocyanin' which helps photosynthesis underwater where there is less light.
I wonder if scientists could genetically engineer a terrestrial plant to utilize this blue pigment and thereby increase photosynthesis for indoor greenhouse growers to save energy on grow-lights. Plus the plants would be blue!
The Thought Emporium might try something like that
I could imagine blue salad, being lampooned by people on the right, as just another liberal greeny thing
Alternatively, you could use light from a source that we don't have to produce energy for. Of course, figuring out such a source of light is a difficult undertaking. I'll open the windows and try to think of some possible ideas.
@@Ealsante does sunlight shine equally on all parts of earth, at all times of year?
And what about indoor apartment buildings? Does the window provide the same luminosity as an open field?
@@toddchavez8274 I guess it would be called a 'blue-house' instead of a greenhouse
Welcome back sir! We missed you! ❤❤❤
You have been sorely missed; I don't understand how this topic is considered 'niche'.
This is universally fascinating.
This was a particularly pretty episode. James is so talented!
found this channel like a month ago... and have been really enjoying deep diving through all these videos... thank you
Speaking of the algorithm, I wish it had exposed me to this before. I really like this
I would be very interested in seeing fermentation (alcohol or dairy); I'm not sure how applicable that would be with the environment needed.
They've done episodes on yeast before.
Extremely informative as usual 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾
“An edible boat of discarded body parts”. Brilliant!
Hey i just saw picocyanobacteria on eons. 😊
Muchas gracias. Es un mundo fascinante. Muy interesante.
Lol it’s that scene from Lady and the Tramp except it’s two ameobas eating a cyanobacterium.
4:00 That might be the most beautiful image ever presented on this channel! 🙂
Really? Different strokes for different folks I guess 🤷
Off-topic: the two amoebas @5:19 are doing a -- very slow -- spaghetti kiss
picocyanobacteria double feature? cool
This channel is wonderful :)
I've also been enjoying videos by a super new channel called "Let's Scope it Out!"
They somehow rigged a 3-dimensional microscope and are showing the microcosmos in 3 dimensions!
Is today a picocyanobacteria day, if not that should be a thing
I got my calendar just a couple days ago and I have it up love it!
Yes I love that u guys are talking about these too
Love these presentations.
You guys are awesome!
Sometimes I feel like I’m watching the beginning of a Spore playthrough with these videos
1:14 but Hank, we can now zoom in the picture on the mobile app, thanks for the glorious 4K
This is only kind of related, but would it be a good idea to grow a whole bunch of cyanobacteria in places they normally wouldn't (like on land or in the air with some extra genetic engineering?) To help with carbon sequestration?
Or just in lots of big vats where they wont interfere with ecosystems
Cyanos are actually surprisingly difficult to grow in the lab! They grow very slowly compared to other types of bacteria and it's tough to get the light levels right for each species. But companies like Brilliant Planet are already growing diatoms in huge quantities to sequester carbon :)
@@EcoCurious good to know!
Thanks a lot
So Cyanobacteria Tuesday is now a thing.
I ate some picocyanobacteria
"The demands of survival are always in flux"
What is an oxygen species?
they've already out lived us as far as time goes they've been around sense the beginning real OGs
goddammit now I have to look 1:14
ahh Nike logo
Copepods: It's fine, we'll be fine!!!
*C O P E*
Can copepods even swim? Dude was doing non stop backflips when trying to move forward, making almost no progress.
"The meek shall inherit the earth!!!!!!" The Picocyanobacterium has a viabilty that would make Christopher Columbus hang his head in shame. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Another weird fact, Prochlorococcus doesn't even have phycobilosome antennas!
Was there a new filter used???? At 3:00, there is a different 3D angle view than over seen in any of the videos.
Wonder if they started pairing with fungi in lichen because of the chitin in the fungi
I got trolled by William 1:24 :(
Those amoeba eating the bacteria.
🐶🍝🐶
2:44 clown car bacterium following GPS?
that's kinda the main argument
What eats these bacteria?
If humanity survives to the year 2500, I'd be genuinely suprised
I swear i saw a wolf eatting a sheep in that mass of cyanobacteria.
Oh yeah, we're fluxed.
PBS eons hosts are all hot!
What about overfishing creole to make vitamins and dietary supplements all over the world
Let us hope this planet is self-regulating enough to counter at least some of the damage from lobal warming. I would prefer death by some means other than starvation!
Is this a colab with PBS science or a coincidence?
was thinking the same thing lol
Could certainly have been planned as Eons is co-produced by PBS Digital Studios and Complexly. The latter of which is Hank's company that produces videos for this channel, too.
Journey people, you really need to label your photos better. Giving us the names does not tell us which of the numerous organisms is which. Use an arrow or something to point out the identity please.
Synechococcus
Prochlorococcus
So, is it 25% of the ocean's photosynthesis, or 25% of the world's? He says both, and the first doesn't even sound impressive to me...
Only channels i watch in 4k because data is too expensive
p.s: F sriankan ISP's
Picocyanobacteria is a really bad name. At that size they should probably be called Nanocyanobacteria.
Don't leave us again
first lol
Thanks so much for producing these endlessly fascinating videos🦠🔬
Wish dre was some sort of thing to be won or acknowledged about fr first comment
2nd*
I love you dude but please, use Myriad the right way, it’s not “a myriad of” it’s just “myriad of”
Both of them are grammatically correct.
I appreciate you dude; but, please give the semicolon its due respect. \s
"myriad" is literally a noun. if you Google the word, it literally gives a sentence example using "a myriad". foh
Whoever did the editing on this one did a terrible job, the background music is way too prominent. It keeps getting loud and overtaking the voice over. I literally could not finish this video because the music was so damn distracting...
I LOVE these videos. I learn so much!🫶🏾💙
