What is it? Spirulina? Spirochaete?

Nematode

Hi Ecki.
It is too small and does not present the internal structures of a nematode, you have idea which nematode can be?

Hi Carlos,

some of those 28.000 different Nematodes are pretty small. I have no idea which one this could be. It is no bacteria and not Spirulina - they move differently.

Thank you Ecki
I've seen in the same sample very similar to the video bodies,
but more small... they have a way to 'spring' spiral that I haven't seen in any other body
I will look to see if I find any similar species of nematode, but I am not very convinced

It look like some kind of bacterium!

perhaps it has a "thungsten lamp filament" shape?

Hi Arturo.
I think, without security, which is a bacterium.
Because I've seen other more small.
All with "thungsten lamp filament" shape
