Mesodinium protozoan. Light microscopy footage of a Mesodinium pulex ciliate protozoan (centre left) with marine plankton diatoms (Thalassiosira and Chaetoceros). 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 Mesodinium specimen is 20 micrometres across. It was obtained from sea water on the German North Sea island of Amrum. | |
