In this video we observe Menoidium
Pellucidum, a flagellate that we have found in freshwater with very little oxygen.
It has a crescent moon shape, a flagellum,
a vacuole near the channel where the flagellum born, and crystals of paramilo.
We see it alive, swimming quickly.
Before dying loses the flagellum
