The next one is a good example of the ammount of life in compost tea. Several things going on. A vorticella ciliate in the middle, creating a vortex to suck in its prey. Its attached to a piece of organic matter. I,m not sure wich species it is though. There are flagellets, baceria and other ciliates zooming around, and on the left suck in organic matter and fungal hyphea a nematode. A perfect example of all the life you extract from compost tea to replenish your soil.
