Just some general comments here! Had an organism here I would call like StichotrichaPic! There are motile spherical colonial cells which I take to be chrysophytes like SynuraPic! There was a transparent Rotifer like organismPic! There appears to be a Zoothamnium genus here in which the whole colony contracts at once due to a continuous branching spasmonemePic! One large protozoa I take to be Burasia truncatellaPic! There was one Protozoa I was not sure ofPic! It has a very distinct interior! The cytoplasm appears to be in constant fluid mixing kind of like the thermal votexes of the surface of the sun! Otherwise, the Lasater temporary water had all the aquatic organisms as the others have had! There were also a large number of various sized nematods on the bottom of the container! I have make a large number of Quicktime movies at the end with most of the distinct protozoa I observed!

QuickTime Movies from Day Eight from Water Samples Taken at Lasater Ranch!!!
Medium ciliate that uses its ventral cirri for movrment over a substrate like hypotrichs!!
Perhaps Burasia truncatella! Looks like something from the Animated movie Yellow Submarine 2!!
