What's going on everyone? Welcome back to the Epic Gardening Podcast here again with

Nicole Masters International Agrocologist and Systems Thinker kind of sounds

like the subtitle of like a spy international agroacologist

Nicole Masters. We're talking... What's that? Women of Mystery. A woman of mystery, an international woman of mystery.

Well, she's going to be demystifying certain things for us today, and that's going to be

Protozoa and nematodes.

So I feel like why not just give us the low down really quickly on what each

of these are and sort of how they connect with what we've already talked about.

Yeah, so I like to think of Proozole, you know, the smallest animals on the planet and, you know, if you're thinking

about evolutionary theory, if that's what you believe, they're your great great great great grandparents.

So the very first single-celled organisms on the planet so very small animals that you can only see with

a microscope and then the nematodes are non-segmented

worms and again we need a microscope to be able to see those.

So we're just going to talk about what they're doing.

Okay, cool. So should we start off with Protozoa then?

Yeah, let's do that.

So there's three main groups of your Protozoa.

We have your Ciliates, your Flagellates, and your Amibis.

So the Ciliates are one of the largest of the three. They have

cilia which you like hairs. You guys want to study these when you're like 15 at school. They're

like the paremesium. The flagellates are small with the long tails and may have

one or a couple of tails and they look like sperm underneath the microscope and then you've
