“Brrrrrrrrrrrrr brrrr brrrr” and I am sorry for my song choice for this clip! 😂
.
This is a SUPER fast single-celled organism, a Halteria. Halteria looks like a golf ball with hair, and it uses the hair to move around and to feed! In this clip, I managed to hold Halteria still under the cover glass so I can get a closer look at it.
.
Halteria is around 20 microns (a millimeter is 1000 microns) and it can swim 2 millimeters in a second which is like 100 times of its body length in just a second. If Usain Bolt could do that he would be running at a maximum speed of 195 meters per second instead of 10.44 meters per second! It’s really fast! You can see the hair-like structures Halteria use to achieve this amazing speed!
.
Halteria feed on bacteria, and they reproduce pretty quickly in my samples. Sometimes I get thousands of them in a drop, I cannot see anything because of their roughhousing!
.
If you enjoy my posts, you can encourage me to post more by supporting me monthly as little as $1. The link is in my bio. ❤️

Thank you so much for reading!

BACTERIA! BACTERIA EVERYWHERE😱
By everywhere I mean on and in you, in soil, plants, in freshwater or seawater, in radioactive wastes and even deep within the Earth’s crust! Bacteria are unicellular organisms and are among the simplest and earliest forms of life on earth 🤯
You may have heard about bacteria being prokaryotes, unlike all of the organisms I post here which are eukaryotes! Eukaryotes include animals, plants, fungi and protists (algae and unicellular organisms), to name a few. Prokaryotes don’t possess a nucleus to store their DNA or other small membranous organelles such as mitochondria or chloroplasts. In fact, mitochondria and chloroplasts would’ve evolved from bacteria and that is totally MIND BLOWING!!! (right?)
Bacteria are the most abundant organisms on earth, in terms of mass, diversity and number of individuals (and I thought there was lots of nematode worms 🤔). Although, only a few types of bacteria are pathogens and can cause disease. Lots of them are actually beneficial, for example, those living inside us help with food digestion and prevent dangerous bacteria to grow! Fun fact; we possess as many bacteria than cells, and we’re made of 30 trillion freaking cells 🤠 In comparison, the revised estimate of bacterial cells present in and on humans is 38 trillions 🙃
Bacteria mainly move with the help of one or many flagella, a bit like algae from some of my videos. Although, prokaryotic and eukaryotic flagella aren’t build the same way and the mechanics behind their movements are very different!
Okayyyy my work here is done! Hit me up for more fun facts 😈
