Single-celled Vacuum Cleaner Eats

[@BiologicPodcast]

This is so wild; right in the beginning, you can see the still-alive prey microbe squirming in the B. truncatella's mouth groove. Then its membrane is punctured, and it lies still, having been euthanized by some mechanism internal to its predator. The urge to live exists so viscerally, even at this microscopic scale. Absolutely incredible.

[@usualdosage7287]

What a beautiful comment

[@pyalot]

Being that the purpose of life is to live (and procreate), it is hardly surprising to find an urge to live everywhere. Life without an urge to live just would not exist.

[@vitalygoji]

Thank Darwin for miracle of life

[@American-Plague]

@@vitalygoji I can't tell if your comment is serious or an attempt to mock Darwin. Either way: Darwin didn't invent life. He discovered the mechanism by which species diverge into other species.

[@vitalygoji]

@@American-Plague They don't turn into other species. They have adaptation abilities. Life form is strictly determined by a program - DNA and positive mutations (changes in a program) practically don't occur. Read honest scientists or your brain will stop recognizing creation patterns. Life of a person who believes that human eye or DNA assembled itself by random chance is not fun. One single cell billion times more complex than all industrial facilities on earth. Stay away from crazies. Thank you for replying.

It's amazing how whenever the "sausages" touch it, they immediately scurry away. Do they know that that big vacuum boi can eat them? Are there like receptors or something, and if so what makes them know that the other organism is a predator?

They recognize the organism that touches them via using complex protein molecules on their outer membrane.

You should put vacuum sounds on this and a hollow thump sound every time it eats something. Maybe a fizzling sound after it eats that first thing for digesting sounds.

Anybody here know the mechanics on how these single cells even move? They seem float with such accuracy without moving in any form I’ve ever seen. How fascinating

[@Spencer-wc6ew]

They have tiny "hairs" all around them called cilia that they flap to swim. I'm not sure how they're able to move so precisely though, I find it really impressive

[@goatsandstuff4319]

@@Spencer-wc6ew maybe like you said, they have many and they can move some but not all to move precisely

[@marcusguan36]

It's via a process called chemotaxis. I took molecular biology like 8 months ago so I don't remember the nitty gritty details and proteins in the pathway, but it basically goes like this: Two types of molecules: attractants + repellants Proteins on surface/"skin" of organism recognize these molecules If the attractants bind to protein -> organism moves towards the attractants (vice versa for repellants) So for example, lets say we have E. Coli, and some molecule that threatens E. Coli to the right. Molecule will bind to proteins on the "skin" of E. Coli, and E. Coli will then know that bad stuff is on its right. Therefore it will move to the left to avoid it. Multiply this by billions of molecules at a time, and the cell has a pretty good idea of its surroundings. The underlying molecular biology is pretty complicated with signal transduction and stuff, but the principle is pretty easy to understand.

[@mystickyclips35]

It replicates like all cingle celled irganisms.

[@nikolayyurchenko5075]

@@mystickyclips35 But it can replicate only after it completely digests what it have eaten. I mean blowing up because of lot of active digestive vacuoles.

[@FrancoRossel]

Satisfied isn't the right word, single cell organisms are literally incapable of any kind of feeling, they only react to stimuli. So as long as it detects the prey stimuli, it'll try to feed. Since they reproduce spontaneously via binary fission, losing mass is pretty easy for them.

[@nikolayyurchenko5075]

​@@FrancoRossel It can loose its own mass via dividing. But food vacuole isn't its own mass. It should be digested first. And prior to digestion food vacuole adds volume to the cell and it means pressure to its outer membrane. And more, creation of food vacuole means that some part of membrane was used for this. Where does it replenish phospholipids in such an extensive case of food vacuole creation and how it fights with the inner pressure during such intensive feeding? Speaking about reaction to stimuli, ciliates seem to have some analog to muscular and nervous systems on their own single-celled level. Stentors may immediately shrink on touch. Lacrymaria and Dileptus actively move with their probosces. This level of activity requires quicker information transmission than just with molecular diffusion or dynein/kinesin moving along microtubules.

[@fafnir8714]

@Nikolay Yurchenko I may be wrong about this on account of not knowing much about this perticular field of study but I would imagine that once at a certain point whatever mechanism it uses to suck in organisms to eat would stop being very functional. We can already see in this video that some of the things it swallows end up swimming right back out and getting away, I think if it was over full things would just not stay down until more room was made via digestion.
