Dear all,

 

I am in urgent need of identifying the following microorganisms (species or genus) from these SEM images to aid in biofilm investigation, and so wondered whether you good fellows could help me out.

I believe ciliates are visible among the bacteria, helping me to identify as many as possible would be extremely helpful!!

Also, i would love to hear of anything else you spot of interest in these images that i may have missed.

 

Thanks for your time, here they are:

 

Where they are from:

img1 - Brackish Water

img2 - Brackish Water

img3 - Seawater

img4 - Pond Water

img5 - Brackish Water
