The environment in my mini culture has changed
and the bacteria are massing along a line of least
unpleasantness. Most ciliates are not moving or cysts.
One species of long cilia protists is having a heyday though.

Take two aspirin, go to bed and call a doctor in the morning

I am totally lost. Does this mean the future of beer is in severe danger???
If I recall correctly, at least the images were in B&W.

Replies indicate ignorance at its best.

Cool video of daily life at its most fundamental basis. Gives you an idea of what happens as a body of water starts to get oxygen depleted.

Thanks for responding guys. At least we are beyond the "huh." First of all, this is photography. I am an amateur photographer like you guys. I am not a biologist. I don't know everything about what I photograph, I just find it interesting. To me this is like a mission to Mars. The photography is full color. If I used a lower power, less magnification, you would see a lot more color. At 1,000 times you are very close to the limits of optical photography and the things you see are mostly smaller than the shortest wave lengths of light. It's a grey, dark world. Color is for us monsters, not the denizens of murky water and biofilm.

At the risk of starting a war, color does not exist, it is just how we perceive certain wavelengths of light, which might well still be important to you microbiome. The Mantis shrjmp I believe can sense 11 different wavelengths or ranges of light.
Color is also very effected by size and scattering as you say. Take a green coke bottle and grind it up, at a certain particle size (easily reached), no green, all white, but put the ground glass in carbon tetrachloride (no longer available, but the substitutes sold would probably work) and bingo, the green returns.

CCl4 + drinking alcohol (while cleaning stuff) = bye, bye liver!
