Light microscopy footage of a Vampyrella lateritia trophozoite (round) drifting near to and attaching to a strand of Spirogyra algae (tubular). Vampyrella is a unicellular micro-organism sometimes described as a 'vampire amoeba'. It attacks other microscopic organisms, such as algae, and penetrates their cell walls and extracts the contents (green). Vampyrella are found in aquatic freshwater environments, with other vampyrellid species found in soil and in the sea.Credit:Dr Oliver Skibbe/ SPL / Science SourceSize:1920px × 1080px (~3512 MB)Restrictions:No Sale through SubagentsGet PricingHow Will The Visual Be Used?ShareRelated Virtual folders:Explore Science Source ImagesKeywords:algae-algal-amoeba-aquatic-attaching-cell-cells-cellular-cercozoan-clip-eukaryote-eukaryotic cell-feeding-filamentous green algae-film-freshwater-light microscope-lm-microbe-microbes-microorganism-micro-organism-microorganisms-micro-organisms-microscopic-motion-nobody-no-one-plankton-planktonic-plant-predator-predatory-protist-protoplast-spirogyra-strand-trophozoite-unicellular-vampire amoeba-vampyrella-vampyrella lateritia-vampyrellid-video-waterDuration:1m51sParent folder:20160624_spl003_32
