It took hours to capture what little I have here. It resembles Spirostomum but the anterior portion does not resemble anything like I have seen of Spirostomum. I am quite unsure of what this is. The PIS and Jahns were of no help.

Hi Ken, you did good to get this I think. My Patterson ID's it as Homalozoon. I did a search for this on the internet and found the same thing as Homalozoon Vermiculare http://protist.i.hosei.ac.jp/PDB/Galler ... datum.html
Hope I've helped.

You know I looked there Ken and evidently missed it. But it looks as though you have hit it on the head. That is it. Thanks

Thanks for the comments guys and to you Ken for the ID. I wanted to capture the macro nucleus or nuclei with better detail but the thing kept folding and sliding out of view and focus. The nuclei look similar to what is seen in Stentors.
