Mesodinium protozoan. Light microscopy footage of a Mesodinium pulex ciliate protozoan (centre) excaping a larger unicellular and spherical protist, a Raphidiophrys heliozoon (left). A ciliate protozoan is a single-celled micro-organism. It uses cilia for propulsion and to waft food particles into its mouth. Digestion takes place inside the cell. This specimen was obtained from brackish water on the Baltic Sea coast of Germany. See K005/2247 for cropped version. | |
