Hats off to James for the apparent constant battle of keeping those frantic karyorelictids in frame
Right!!!
And in focus!
True that
Its always amazing to realize that how many millions of cells we are currently using to view , hear and interpret the struggling life of ONE SINGLE CELL
I take my metaphorical hat off to James! That was some seriously stunning photography. Thank you to all who make JttM happen.
If you think about it, lots of sand is made of diatom frustules and diatoms can be found in sand, so they are basically swimming in the corpses of their ancestors.
Reminds me of earthworms, converting an environment into their own waste but in the process making that environment more suitable for them- the diatoms rely on the death of their countless predecessors to have a home at all.
Aren’t we all, in a way?
Thanks for that image in my head
Sounds like Dark Souls
Metal AF.
I'm tempted to offer to send James a dirt sample (with relevant geologic and geographic info). Problem is, he'd probably get swamped pretty quickly with samples from others doing the same.
Maybe, if James is looking for a specific location, I'm sure you'd get plenty of volunteers
That sounds interesting, maybe we could swap sand samples. I live on the west coast of Canada and would be happy to share. Hmm is there a potential for invasive species being spread?
@@tiffanycarlyle4908 worrying about microscopic invasive species (other than algae) is not something I have ever heard scientists worry about. For obvious reasons humans are much too preoccupied by phenomenon that are more easy to relate too but that may not reflect the true division of the labour in sustaining biodiversity in an ecosystem
@@tiffanycarlyle4908 It's cute that you worry about it but I'd say at this stage of human globalization the situation is beyond hopeless, specially at those scales where almost anything that moves is a potential vehicle.
@@AngadSingh-bv7vn
Well, invasive microscopic species are actually the main focus if one studies in plant pathology. Those funky little things can be more devastating to agriculture than pest insects sometimes, like the great famine of Ireland. So yeah, scientists do care about the dangerous microbes.
Another fact: foreign soil are forbidden in most nation unless authorized under specific condition, this includes potential dirt attached to plant material. In US they even restric interstate soil from quarantine area. Globalization might be tough and all, things hadn't gone beyond the situation that we should just stop caring tho.
@@maracachucho8701 wow thanks for your solution oriented attitude! That's really gonna change things
As much as I love microbiology (I mean, I majored in it), I also just like having these videos on in the background. The images are really neat to glance at, and Hank Greens narration is just perfect for filling in the back part of my mind that my ADHD brain demands be filled at all time with some sort of stimuli in order to do anything.
Footage, text, narration, editing, music... You guys are the best
'nuff respect to the away teams!
You can hide your faces but you cannot deny your awesome contribution to our enwizening. Bringing it on! xxx
I just hope they know not to wear red shirts
Thank you! Making the world wiser with bottles of sand will surely be the best part of our CVs ;)
I think we can all agree that James is amazing. Thank you for putting in so much effort to make us all a little bit smarter!
'She sells ciliates by the seashore' isn't much easier to say...
Humans: Ahh what a nice day out on the beach :)
Microbes: OH GOD WE'RE TRAPPED IN A CONSTANTLY SHIFTING MAZE
Microbes: This constantly shifting death maze is our home and this is how we like it. Go stick your safe, nutrient-filled flask where the sun doesn't shine - I'd rather die than live there.
How funny! I was at the beach a couple of hours ago - and I thought about you guys! Loads of love from Denmark ❤️ 🤗
How about microorganisms found inside humans specifically as a video topic? Something we can relate to haha
I like your idea
Me 2
They'd be really hard to keep alive outside of the body
@@TheRealFlenuan Not necessarily true. E. coli, a bacterium that lives inside human intestines, is one of the most common lab microorganisms and is very easy to grow
so basically you're asking James to put his own poop under the microscope...
What'd you do today?
PhD student - I sent liters of wet sand to a guy.
*collage $$$ at woerk*.
LITERALLY that's what we did (but don't tell my PI)!
Being so long, twisty, and with apparently so much energy...this was like the Olympics challenge for recording 😂 Great job
Karyorelictids: you young ciliates these days have it easy, getting your macronucleus just handed to you from your parent cell. When I was your age I had to construct my own!
Parent karyorelictid cell: You are not getting a macronucleus.
Daughter karyorelictid cell: I make a new one.
lovely little noodles!
this channel offers such a brilliantly cinematic experience of the microcosmos ,nobody can do it better keep it up peeps
Thanks for this. It was beautiful.
That was really good. I never thought about the microverse on the beach before.
Nyoom nyoom nyoom, through the sand and the waves, battling the elements to survive
The warrior-poet ciliates!
Nifty video!!
Another awesome video!
Any chance for a video about archaea? I don't know how hard they might be to grow, but it would be fascinating
Oh wow these are so cool, I was just at the ocean yesterday, too!! If I had known about them I'd have brought some sand and water home!
This channel is so good
Great reading, tricky words by the tongue-ful on this one
James's filming skills are amazing
I don't even have to watch to know that I'll love this. But I will. Several times probably.
Right?
😄👍
Talk about your daily grind!
Fantastic video! That interstitial sample shows lots of polarization effects, which looks incredible as the tiny stones move around. What microscope/camera was used to create this? That is such great quality. I haven't had much experience with microscope cameras but this one must be one of the better ones out there. I'm still searching for a setup like this so I can spend hours watching how microorganisms live.
Great episode, Than JTTM :D
Greeting from Mexico.
Just got lucky and happened to open RUclips right as this dropped.
Been trying to get some info on this DIC process. Of course these are GREAT videos but my question is this; if one has a DIC ready scope, is there much pre or post work done to get these kind of videos/images or do you get your specimen and go at it?
Reminds me of Spirostomum in a freshwater bog I visit to collect micro-samples that's filled with them. I've always wondered if alot of them are popping up in every sample I look at from the site I go to indicates certain water/chemical/environmental factors on why they are so prolific in my samples.
Such a nice video!
What an amazing family you have, what with John and his books and history, Sarah with her art, and you with your biology!❤️
By the by, all this is from a light microscope, right? And how the hell do you guys film and shoot stuff seen under a microscope this well?!
Plz make a video on Thiovulum majus, one of the fastest bacterium in the world.
With a life among giant, sharp boulders, it would seem to make sense for ciliates to have several macronuclei.
If I understood correctly this would allow fragments to survive being abruptly cut from the main body without having to rely on micronuclei to generate a new macronucleus from micronuclei - presumably a precarious task if hampered by both the paucity in a small fragment and the need to simultaneously heal the wounds in both ends (if it was a middle-section that was cut out).
I think the arrangement is an adaptation to being long and tenuous while living among cutting edges...
Ceterum censeo insania covidi esse delendam...
Love those vids!
Great job 👏
"Big probuscus energy"
This is all I have to say
We understand..
I am addicted to thhis channel
Do these ciliates have a lymphatic style system. Maybe the water movement helps them eliminate waste. You dont get that in a beaker in a lab.
Oooooo this is amazing!! More marine microbiology would be amazing, especially if you guys could use a phytoplankton net in the ocean or something. If I had the ability I would send you samples from the sea myself lol
such a poet on such subject
WOW learn so much these days! the amazing world wide web, eh! keep it up boys
Please make a video on lactobacillus!!!!!
I bet his mailman thinks that he is a crazy person.
They deliver them in person haha
Great video
why didn’t i know about this channel! hank how many things do you do!!!!
Looked like it was kinda hard to keep up with it Am I wrong on this thought??
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
They are beautiful!
Very interesting video..
Hey so can we get some examples of extremophiles, and a visible comparison to similar niches? I wonder how the cell would have to change itself to adapt to extreme temperatures.
I think that would be very neat to see, however the problem of preserving the extremity of the environment while in transit to James might be too big to overcome.
@@moconnell663 some are easier than others, i think ones that live in ice might be do-able, otr maybe ones that live in wierd chemicals.
@@metalskirmish That does make sense. I suppose when I hear 'extremophile' my mind first goes to hydrothermal vents and hot springs; tough environments to reproduce in transit.
Could you do a video explaining magnification? I watch Journey to the Microcosmos on my 4K HDTV, so what is purported to be 200X magnification is actually closer to 20,000X. The resolution of your microscopes is impressive, and I see sharp detail even on the 50" screen. The "end user" magnification is quite a bit greater than the microscope's. I understand that there's all kinds of detail I don't see, but it still confuses me to see a 50-inch ciliate that's allegedly 200 times actual size. How do you translate the microscope's magnification to HDTV size?
Having a bigger screen does not make magnification any different. Magnification is how much it's zoomed in. It's not how much bigger. If look in the corner there is a unit of measurement.
@@noname-kx4cu "Magnification is how much it's zoomed in" doesn't explain anything. When I went to school, before personal computers existed, I was taught about the object lens and all that stuff. It made sense if you had your eye pressed against the eyepiece of a microscope. "This amoeba appears 200x larger." That doesn't make sense anymore, when my computer monitor is 50 inches (diagonally) and displays a bazillion pixels. Old-school magnification specs need to be translated to a modern world.
Do a video about the loriciferans
I didn't understand @6.00 where daughter cells could be helped by there being some functional nucleus around if they don't have any macro-nucleus at cell division.
Interesting stuff
If James needs any sand from Coastal East Texas, lemme know. You’d only have to pay for containers and shipping. Then I’d have something to do between fish strikes.
Predators everywhere! Plants, fungi, cattle, predators, scavengers -what other categories exist in the micro and macro kingdoms?
I have my 2000x microscope. So im curious, let's say I look at some dirt in my back yard, and find a hookworm. What are the odds that I have already been exposed if im seeing it there, and most importantly will lessening the amount of anything including dirt, mulch etc, and even distance make it far more likely to become infected?
Super super cool! I’m thinking about micro and macro nuclei and the evolution of multicellular life, with its single nucleus per cell. Could the micro nuclei be the predecessors of chromosomes? Could they be the descendants of multiple species living in close cooperation with one another and now living together in a single macroorganism that they have together created?
Can you do a video on what a single celled organism is and what keeps them alive
THEIR IS A CLEAR STRINGY MUCUS LIKE SUBSTANCE THAT I FIND WHEN I BREAK OPEN AN OLD CAKE AND IVE TRIED RESEARCHING IT BUT I NEVER FIND THE ANSWER. WHAT IS THAT SUBSTANCE??? PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS, ITS BEEN BUGGING ME FOR A WHILE
...Is the T silent, or something? Or is Hank pronouncing 'trachelocercid' wrong?
Could rapid temp change be prohibiting flask analysis? An outside environment changes its temp much more rapidly than in a flask. All the rapid fluctuations might be too much for their metabolisms. Just a thought.
very interesting to use the word damaged rather than injured...
Oh yeah, I'm really enjoying my forraged shellfish.😋
1:22 truly the smallest phd students
sunny moods~
How do the critters that eat diatoms get around their shell?
You might be professors or students of a university but be careful if you're not, certain States like Florida taking samples of that size from the beach shore is a no no.
Microbe sized?
Is the voice the guy from scishow ? His voice is familiar
how about one on the human microbiome?
The nuclear specificity is very interesting; a separate category of heritage.
Please do a collab with Life In Jars🥺
This reminds me of the Spore games.
Hey, just a heads up... I subbed to you some time last year and noticed you hadn't uploaded anything new in a while, so I searched for you and saw that I was somehow unsubscribed. Ever heard of this happening? Anyone else have this happen to them? Kinda weird...
It's been a common RUclips issue for years. They don't seem particularly pressed to solve the problem either
0:52 Karyo relic⚱️ tea ☕😁
2x speed - good !
I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and full of ciliates
Woohoo the beach!!!!
What is the smallest animal with eyes?
What equipment do you use to make the videos??? What microscope?
They have videos on it, check the playlists page :)
@@wille2403 Found it! Thank you... (a DIC microscope is way out of my budget!! haha)
5:53 macronucleus. You accidentally pluralized it 😁
Sand castles hold their shape due to interstitial liquid bridges. And these creatures are the royalty that inhabit them.
Does anyone else think they are cute? I'm definitely biased though because I love weird animals like bugs and any animal that's noodle shaped lol
Would be interesting to see bugs in diatomaceous earth.
I haven't even watched it and I love it ❤️
Edit: it was :)
Why do habitats have such diverse species if they all have the same ancestor?
Beach episode? Beach episode.
I wish James told us how sped up the footage is
The footage is usually not sped up. Whenever it is though, we always mention it next to the magnification in the upper left corner of the screen.
@@journeytomicro thanks, I thought I had seen it in the past but I had just binged several uploads... the way some of these things move... it’s not exactly intuitive to me, I really thought these guys looked sped up.
The shore is a brutal place to live! I should have realized how fast micro life must be to survive there.
Thanks for the response.
Your “show “ is really a gem of RUclips.
I hope this content remains available for a long time.
You guys do a great job of showing us the interesting things even tho we are not experts at all.
Lacrymaria olor = micro-giraffe
Yooo I’m early! I love Journey!
Me too :D
Fastest way to understand sound waves is to have superior canal dehiscence syndrome lmao
Who da hell dislike this????
Mad
5mm holy fuck its gigantic . its fucking massive .
Single cell organisms have complex and intelligent behaviours, how amazing is that? Just goes to show that having a brain is not required to have intelligence.
Wonder how micro plastics interacts with the micro cosmos...
I shared this vid on my twitter @alspresso
200x?? Apparently, I need to learn how to use my microscope
