They are present as cysts on the surface of the infusion material. Wetting the cysts liberates the organisms, which grow, divide and re-encyst as a part of their life cycles. Many of them are present in the air we breathe as cysts as well.

What are the protozoans that you have observed from the hay infusion?

I have observed Paramecium, Amoeba, Euglena, and Stentor protozoans in the hay infusion. These organisms are commonly found in freshwater habitats and are able to thrive in the nutrient-rich environment provided by the hay infusion.


Why is that the microorganisms in the hay infusion are not stained?

Microorganisms in the hay infusion may not stain because they have a complex cell wall structure that prevents the stain from penetrating. Additionally, the staining process may not be effective on certain types of microorganisms present in the hay infusion.


Does hay infusion use true motility or brownian movement?

Hay infusion consists of microorganisms like protozoa. Most of the protozoa are motile in nature since they have locomotive structures like flagella, cilia and pseudopods that's why the organisms that can be found in hay infusion generally moves.


What type of organisms will be more prevalent in the hay infusion incubated in the light than in the hay infusion incubated in the dark?

The type of organisms that would be prevalent in a lighted incubator would be plants or other organisms that need light to survive. Some types of bacteria would grow well in the unlighted incubator.


What is the purpose of hay infusion?

Hay infusion is used as a rich nutrient source for culturing microorganisms in a laboratory setting. It provides a diverse variety of organic material for organisms to feed on, promoting the growth of a wide range of microbes. This can help in studying microbial diversity and ecology.


Why do you have to wait for a week or two before examining the hay infusion?

Because at the start there are no aquatic organisms in the water. Spores from the air land in the water and find that it suits them very well. They emerge from the spores. At this stage you would not see them. Now they feed on the bacteria that are breaking down the hay. They multiply while there is no limit on the food available to them. Now if you examine the hay infusion you will find them in large numbers.


How do you prepare a hay infusion?

To prepare a hay infusion, place a handful of hay in a container of water and let it sit in a warm, sunny spot for a few days to allow the hay to decompose. This creates an environment for microorganisms to grow. After a few days, strain out the hay and use the liquid as a culture medium for observing microorganisms under a microscope.


What will happen to organisms in a hay infusion culture when conditions are acidic?

Bacteria die at acidic conditions but some has a specific pH to be eradicated. Since we are dealing with unknown specimen of bacteria, we can hypothesize that no, or some, bacteria will survive the condition. (Sorry for my english.)


What is the comparison of sizes and shapes of microorganisms observed in the light and dark hay infusion?

Microorganisms observed in the light hay infusion tend to be larger and more diverse in shape compared to those in the dark hay infusion. This is because light stimulates the growth of photosynthetic microorganisms that are generally larger in size and have different shapes than those found in the dark.


Why do microorganism thrive in hay infusion?

Microorganisms thrive in hay infusions because the hay provides a source of nutrients and organic matter for them to feed on. The water in the infusion creates a suitable environment for growth, with optimal temperature and pH levels. Additionally, the organic material in hay can promote microbial diversity and abundance in the infusion.


Is hay infusion a prokaryotic or a eukaryotic?

Hay infusion is a method of making a suitable home for your microorganisms to grow, this is achieved by boiling hay with water. This results to a broth, rich with carbohydrates and other "food" for your microorganisms extracted from the hay you used. Now, to make your microorganisms grow in numbers in that infusion, you need to get a little amount of the sample that you want to test for the presence of microorganisms. Example, getting a few milliliters of pond water, then pouring it to your hay-infusion. We will leave this for 24-48 hours so that the microorganisms will be able to multiply and grow in your infusion. Now, regarding the question on prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells... These two are actually the types of cells animals may have. Prokaryotic cells are said to be primitive and are commonly seen in bacteria, while eukaryotic cells are more advanced cells seen in higher forms of life like us. However, in the infusion you prepared, after pouring the sample that you want to be tested, we will see a variety of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms swimming about. Both types are present and it's a matter of identifying one from the other.


Why is the dark hay infusion have the most bacteria?

The dark hay infusion may have the most bacteria because the lack of light allows for more bacterial growth, and the decomposition of organic matter in the hay provides nutrients for bacteria to thrive. Additionally, the darkness creates a more stable environment for bacterial populations to flourish.
