Eating and growing
Species name:Synura
AL-Museum AL-Museum
This large particle is covered with a bacterial biofilm, which provides a rich feeding ground for various organisms. As a Synula colony feeds on the bacteria, its member flagellates grow and divide, causing the Synula to become longer before our eyes. Between this long Synula and the particle surface, other small flagellates are absorbed in eating.
