"It's also easy to look at the existence of a living thing and assume that every detail of its being has been optimized through eons of mutations and selection for a specific and there is an extent to which that's true. The world places all sorts of demands on life: the need for food, for reproduction, for warmth, for light, for dark, for movement. We respond in kind by prioritizing and balancing those needs, and shape is one way we do that."

"Of course, there are many protists that take on very different shapes, whether that's for defense or for food or for some other reason. There are pediastrum, that form these spiky colonies that protect them from algae eaters. Then there are the Opecularia, which look like little flowers attached to braches, and whose cilia you can see at work gathering food as it floats on by."

On the left we have a voracious protist (frontonia?) and on the right we have colonies of merismopedia (a cyanobacteria). If you look closely, you can see that the protist has consumed merismopedia, and you can even see multiple intact colonies inside the vacuoles of the protist.

Merismopedia, a cyanobacteria that divides in only two directions, forming a grid-like pattern. Possibly my favorite microorganism.
