This is kentrophoros, a ciliate that James—our master of microscopes—had been searching for, receiving samples from all over the world in the hopes of finding it gliding around. When you first look at it, it doesn’t seem particularly special. But there are two things that the kentrophoros is famous for. The first is its lack of a mouth. The second is its coat of bacteria.
