Light micrograph of a group of Euglena gracilis

Euglena gracilis. Light micrograph of a group of the single celled protozoa, Euglena gracilis. Euglenoids are common in ponds and stagnant fresh- water, with some species inhabiting brackish or marine environments. Coloured green, they contain chloroplasts (seen here) and obtain nourishment by the process of photosynthesis. They are thus found in the upper layers of the water column where light can penetrate. Euglena swims using a pair of hair-like flagellae. Magnification: x90 at 35mm size

Euglena Sp Flagellate Protozoa Protozoan Euglena Gracilis


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing sight of Euglena gracilis, a single-celled protozoa species. The light micrograph beautifully captures the essence of these euglenoids, which are commonly found in ponds and stagnant fresh-water environments. However, some species have adapted to survive in brackish or even marine habitats. The vibrant green coloration seen here is due to the presence of chloroplasts within their cells. This unique characteristic allows Euglena gracilis to undergo photosynthesis, obtaining nourishment from sunlight. Consequently, they thrive in the upper layers of water where light can penetrate. Intriguingly, this microscopic organism propels itself through its aquatic habitat using a pair of hair-like flagellae. These delicate structures enable Euglena gracilis to gracefully swim and explore its surroundings. With a magnification level of x90 at 35mm size, this image offers an up-close look at the intricate details and beauty present within nature's smallest creations. It serves as a reminder that even within seemingly ordinary bodies of water lie extraordinary organisms like Euglena gracilis. This stunning photograph not only appeals to those interested in nature and wildlife but also captivates individuals fascinated by zoology and invertebrate studies. Its scientific value is undeniable as it provides valuable insights into the world of protozoa while showcasing the incredible diversity found within our ecosystems.
