Studying the two-balloon device might yield some insights into biology because its movements vaguely resemble contortions that microbes known as euglena use to propel themselves, he adds. They may look a bit like single-celled organisms such as a euglena or paramecium, but the fish and worm parasites called myxozoans are not protozoans, says Richard D. Working with a committee of science teachers and students, Plass developed a research program based on the study of primitive critters such as euglena, paramecia and simple bacteria. |
