This image-rich BioMedia article features a micro-naturalist's observation of Nassula. In this account, Nassula have been deprived of their food supply and a few are unable to form protective cysts due to a suctorian infestation. The article is the second part of the author's observation, following the article "Nassula, The Chain Eater" and is part of a series called "The Lives of Micro-organisms: A Micro-Naturalist's Notebook". The website also contains links to other articles and features of BioMedia, including a gallery of images and a teacher page with various downloadable teaching guides for BioMedia programs.
