First organism that eats viruses (that we've discovered). Really cool video. Makes me wish I had another #microscope. I spent countless hours as a kid examining water from puddles and stock tanks. Got sold in a garage sale when I was in college 😥 #microscopy, #virovore, #protists, #halteria, #AntonPetrov, #science, #biology

#virovore discovered:
In water samples with no other food source for the ciliates, #Halteria populations grew by ~15 times within 2 days, while chlorovirus levels dropped 100-fold. In control samples without the virus, Halteria didn’t grow at all.
