Rotifer and cyanobacteria. Polarised light micrograph of a rotifer,Ptygura melicerta (centre),amongst filaments of cyanobacteria of the genus Rivularia. Rotifers are common multicellular animals found in pond water. Ptygura melicerta builds a protective tube from its own secretions and surrounding detritus,from which a corona of beating hair-like cilia protrudes,creating a current that sweeps food into the mouth. Cyanobacteria,also known as blue-green algae,are bacteria that obtain their energy through photosynthesis. Magnification: x200 when printed 10 centimetres wide | |
