are bacteria visible in water
Nostoc is a cyanobacteria that forms large spherical colonies. They are common and can just be seen with the naked eye. Most bacteria are only visible with the strongest lenses of the microscope. An easy way to collect them (and also many small protists) is by placing a cover slip on the surface of pond water.After a night whole colonies of bacteria will grow on the underside of the cover slip.ostoc is a cyanobacteria that forms large spherical colonies.
