Video archives
Here, we establish an online video library where a series of movies relevant to motility are available. The miscellaneous category includes bacteria, eukaryotes, and archaea, viruses, proteins, and synthetic polymers. The movies that are meaningful in the biology field will be uploaded in both Japanese and English.
For the contributors who plan to upload your video, you should keep in mind the following suggestions:
(1) the video which is relative to the object of your research
(2) the video about microbe found in the research activity of the super-science high school or biological clubs are encouraged to upload
(3) Do not forget to add the link of your video which has been published (Please make sure the copyright)
(4) If you think some videos in the old textbook are valuable to upload, please let us know.
Video List
Eukaryote
Opercularia sp.
Species name:Opercularia sp.
Bureau Swerage, Tokyo Metropolitan Government
The size of Opercularia is 35-250 μm in length. There is not myoneme in the stalk. The stalks branched to polykinetids. There are chilium on the disk elevated from top of the cell body. It has undulating membranes of the adoral zone and use them for feeding.
Eukaryote
Journey of blue-green algae
Species name:Oscillatoria and Blue-green algae
AL-Museum AL-Museum
Twelve cells are connected like a chain. They slowly begin their journey to another place despite the lack of any specialized moving apparatus. Where are they going and why?
Eukaryote
Diatoms and algae playmates?
Species name:Oscillatoria Blue-green algae
AL-Museum AL-Museum
One by one numerous diatoms approach a long chain of algae that is moving in a leisurely arc. Sometimes the diatoms snuggle against and push or poke the algae, but the algae chain continues its journey as if it doesnt care.
