Parimesium


Above is a parimesium. See citation below. If you look closely, you can see the chloroplasts moving around in cyclical movement, which is the reason I wanted to capture it on video. It feeds on bacteria and loves still water but cannot survive in brackish water. It has one compact micronucleus and two vacuoles
