Blue-green Algae (Cyanobacteria) from Pond to Lab - Pondlife, Episode #2

Cyanobacteria are among the most abundant organisms on our planet. Two billion years ago, they were they first organisms to use photosynthesis and helped create Earth’s oxygen-rich atmosphere.
In Episode 2 of Pondlife, join Sally in New York City’s Central Park to find cyanobacteria, see how they form colonies and communities, and find out why they’re easy prey for other microbial species. Then, back in the Museum’s lab, Sally shows us what it takes to grow microorganisms outside of the pond.

[@anne-droid7739]

The music on these Pondlife episodes is perfect!

[@juniorsouza9280]

Cyanobacteria provide a number of benefits to us, it is always good to emphasize their importance on planet earth. I love this series, I'm in love with microbiology. THANK YOU Sally and AMNH! 💚🦠

[@rajaahlmohaamad4906]

Thanks a lot. Very good educational video.

[@ophliablue]

If Hermione Granger had been just a muggle. In all seriousness though, I’ve always been a huge fan of marine botany. I took a course in college where we studied and memorized the reproductive cycles of 75 different species of algae. And as nerdy as that sounds, I loved every bit of it. Now I’m thinking about using my Christmas Amazon gift card and getting a little microscope!!

[@faridsahebm.d.4987]

Amazing and enlightening video to show the working of nature up close. Now I have some answers to fish poisoning in Oder river published this morning.

[@todor3139]

[@joanyoon4672]

I hope everyone is well and safe. I know it is very difficult at this time. I look for the day when the museum reopens safely. Hopefully, there will be a lot of programs offered for young minds to protect and take care of our environment. Thank you. I am using this video to teach about cyanobacteria, the creatures who introduced oxygen to Earth.

[@shashiyadav1682]

Very interesting

[@estevezposanmiguel9339]

Vaya me encanto mucho el video, se pueden apreciar muchos ciliados y microorganismos ciliados 😲

[@lau_dhondt]

good vid!

[@Kurtlane]

The Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant and the Kakhovka Reservoir (the ones Russia has just destroyed) were built in 1956. It was a large shallow lake with very slow water flow. Probably because of that it became very poor in oxygen, and all the wildlife in it died. Instead, it became overwhelmed with cyanobacteria. Whether it was dead wildlife or too much cyanobacteria, the reservoir stank horribly. It was an ecological disaster. A friend of mine worked there, and one day, as an experiment, he rode a small boat while pumping oxygen into the water. Huge clouds of dead cyanobacteria rose in the water. Cyanobacteria process nitrogen, oxygen is deadly to them. However, decades passed, and I stopped hearing complaints about the reservoir. I guess somehow it worked out. I wonder if it was cyanobacteria that put oxygen back into the water. While oxygen is deadly to them, they produce it in small amounts. Some of it bubbles up to the surface and enters the atmosphere, no longer bothering them, but some stays in the water, reaching the saturation where cyanobacteria die out from oxygen poisoning, but oxygen- breathing life reenters the lake. At least that's my conclusion. Anyone knows whether I am right or wrong?

[@kitgang]

Excellent video from very common to depth. Can you please give me detail of the microscope?

[@feralbluee]

fabulous thank you so very much. i have to get myself a microscope. the one she has must cost a bloody fortune. :) keep safe everyone 🌷✨🌿🌸🌱🌼🌷

Amazing Video! my favorite part was the Nassula eating the Aphanizomenon. As a student, I would love to get a portable microscope like that. Where can I get one or something similar?

[@indethbed2546]

WOW i want that microscope!!

I like suh type of lab in which u have worked

[@fatmiaflow413]

good

[@GreatLakesOutreachMedia]

Would some of the microscopy footage of microcystin be available? Looking for HD or 4k video.

[@khaulamadania7112]

cool

[@saviovogt6774]

Sally where did you buy that hand held microscope? What's the brand name and how much does it cost??

[@CitizenWarwick]

Am sitting here watching this whilst drinking my first ever Spirulina smoothie... Am trying to keep an open mind! 😁

[@alexandriabanda6121]

Curious, what did you look up to get to this video ?

[@CitizenWarwick]

@@alexandriabanda6121 not actually sure now probably something spirulina related! Although info watch a lot of science related content anyway

[@user-jt7rd4hu5p]

its nice

[@mattojeda1491]

Hermione is a biologist? Awesome.

[@nihalraj1617]

Tq mam for giving me some information about cynobacteria i am doing msc form botany

[@stephmiller9275]

What magnification are the videos when looking at microcystis and dolichospermum

[@jantkrokowski9201]

Do you have details for the field microscope used please

[@SamuelLimawan]

I'm actually interested with the portable microscope 😁. May I know where to buy it? Thanks

[@rashmimganesh0702]

what is that device you used in this video to observe can you please tell me ?

[@flawlessstrategy9972]

Why does the thumbnail make me want McDonald's? :P Buh dut dut dut dun, i'm lovin' it!

[@jenromeave4793]

what is that tiny microscope you’re using, ma’am?

[@thesilentplayer2158]

What type of microscope are you using?

[@1abitha.t119]

What type of microscope are you using Ma'am

[@tomahawkmissile241]

when the question of wonder is so great some times a simple look up gives the answer to the answer. Im surprised the ducks made it to water there.

[@iramsabha3600]

3:17 can you please tell me that what is colony 3. I want to know about it as I found it and am unable to identify it.

[@samlafontant6743]

the sounds make the videos.

[@theradarguy]

That is a cool field microscope. I have not been able to find where to get one. Any suggestions?

[@Pennine_Lad]

It is the British Nm1 by Newton Microscopes. A number of UK dealers stock it.

Thank you, very interesting. I am excing the way you make clip haha. Nice work!
