Choanoflagellates under microscope (video)

Post by carlos.uruguay »

In this video we see small organisms a few thousandths of a millimeter long
found in the water of the lake of Parque Rodó (Montevideo - Uruguay)
They are Choanoflagellates, have a "crown" of microvilli visible in the video
and a flagellum also visible in the video.
They eat bacteria
