Thank you, it was really fun! =)

Quais construções? Parece interessante! Não conheço.

Foda demais!

Cool! Can I be added?

Thank you for coming! See you again next month! 📽️🎟️🍿

Fun fact: they're green because they steal the chloroplasts of the algae they eat. The chloroplasts become their symbionts and do photosynthesis for them in exchange for some essential nutrients. That process is called "kleptoplasty".

Hi Erik! I'm a microbiologist and I'd love to be added to the feed. May I?

Peatland #conservation and #restoration are essential for the health and stability of our planet. Protecting vital ecosystems like this must become a higher priority.

They fight #ClimateChange by sequestering #carbon, regulate water flow and provide habitats for unique species. But peatlands are under threat from drainage, land-use changes and rising temperatures.

#Peatlands are among the most important ecosystems on Earth. They cover only ~3% of the planet, but they store more carbon than all the world’s forests combined.

#Cyanobacteria are blue-green #bacteria, but this video was captured using a fluorescence #microscope. That makes their chlorophyll shine with this red glow, making it easier to find them inside the #moss #leaves.

So what we have here is nitrogen-fixing #cyanobacteria in symbiosis with a #peat #moss. These bacteria live inside liquid-filled dead cells (called hyalocytes) in the leaves of the moss. They can move around inside the cells by following the water flow.
