Lacrymaria loses and regenerates his head

Post by fpelectronica »

It seems that the ciliate Lacrymaria has the ability to lose its head in the bunk.
Fortunately it also has the capacity to regenerate it

Francisco, as I said in the comments of the YouTube video, this is the most impressive Lacrymaria video I've ever seen. What is so impressive to me is that you show the dangling head and also show the completion of the process of regeneration of a new head. I'm a sucker for showing completion of processes in the lives of protists.
