Euglena gracilis
Euglena gracilis protists. Light micrograph of a group of Euglena gracilis protists. These organisms possess a unique combination of plant and animal characters. Like the algae, E. gracilis is photosynthetic, possessing the pigments chlorophyll a and b. It uses these to capture light energy from the sun, with which it synthesises food in the same way as many plants. It is also, like many protozoa, an active swimmer, moving rapidly by beating an extension of its cell membrane known as a flagellum. E. gracilis is therefore considered to be both an alga and a protozoa and is classified accordingly. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a group of Euglena gracilis protists, revealing their extraordinary blend of plant and animal characteristics. These microscopic organisms possess the ability to perform photosynthesis, much like algae, thanks to the presence of chlorophyll a and b pigments. By harnessing light energy from the sun, they synthesize food in a similar manner to many plants. However, Euglena gracilis is not solely bound by its plant-like attributes; it also exhibits traits commonly found in protozoa. This motile creature navigates through its aquatic habitat with remarkable agility using a flagellum—an extension of its cell membrane that propels it forward. As such, E. gracilis defies classification as either an alga or protozoan alone but rather falls into both categories simultaneously. The magnification level used for this image remains unknown but serves as a reminder that even within our own bodies of water lie hidden wonders waiting to be explored under the microscope's lens. This photograph captures the intricate beauty and complexity present within these unicellular swimmers known as flagellates—specifically highlighting E. gracilis among other fascinating members of the protist kingdom. Displayed proudly by Science Photo Library, this print offers us an intriguing glimpse into nature's vast diversity—a testament to the incredible world we inhabit and our ongoing quest for knowledge about it.
