    There are only a few groups of bacteria that do this kind of gliding, but they’re found across a plethora of environments, including ponds, soil, and, surprise, in our own mouths.

      GOD bless you all!
      Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    I have tens of hours of gliding cyano clips on my drives. I cannot stop admiring this type of locomotion, it looks so calming, isn’t it?

      Also when the beavers show up into your pond at about the 2:00 mark of this video, I'm thinking that this could be really interesting to see the changes in your sampling from there as their work alters that ecosystem :-)

      @josephrice8503 2 года назад +2

      Yes! I work with cyanobacteria and that is one of the amazing things about them. When the form filaments each cell retains its own cell wall and membrane, but they all are enveloped by the glycolipid layer they produce. Some species will also have some cells differentiate into what is called a heterocyst.

    I wonder if the bacterias movement may have something to do with their spinning, its very subtle but it seems like as they move they rotate and maybe that helps them go forward. Simply an idea and its likely been thought of before but thank you for the video, I enjoy them as they calm me and put my over active mind to sleep.

    Whatever it is we're all part of seems so impossibly vast, sophisticated and intelligent beyond our wildest imagination... but at the same time I have this subtle, far-away sense of it all being so extraordinary simple, like you can see all this complexity at once.
    Whatever the case, it's fun to be part of the ride. However painful it can feel at times.

  • @andyd8370

    Looks like most of the cyanobacteria also roll along their long axis, like a rotisserie, as if to maximize light exposure? Or could it just be a consequence of how they move?

  • @Zantjez
    @Zantjez Год назад

    i might just be a noob but, especially in water the slime creates a friction with the water, so that friction automatically pushes the cyano left or right, up or down, so if the slime is equal on all sides it pushes the cyano forward, so it doesn't cost any energy, or atleast very little energy to move.
    atleast thats my idea.

  • @OCinTexile
    @OCinTexile 2 года назад

    Do we know if the movement is pushed by a cell or cells at the end of a stand of these cyanobacteria (possibly specialized in some way), like a locomotive pushing or pulling a train of non motive cars? Or do each of the individual cells in the strand contribute to the movement?

  • @shez666
    @shez666 2 года назад +1

    I still don't understand how they move. So you said they glide over slime, which is fair enough, but how do they glide one way or the other, there must be something causing them to glide over the slime, the slime itself doesn't seem to actually provide a method of locomotion, it's just a material that allows them to glide... am I missing something here?

    • @8ColousBIT
