Did you know that four out of every five animals are nematodes? But what is a nematode? This animal predates the dinosaurs and they outnumber humans by trillions, yet you might not ever have the pleasure of seeing one. So let us introduce to you in this episode of SciShow, the infamous nematode.

Number 7: Beneficial nematodes are helpful to lawns and gardens. There are products that allow you to connect to a garden hose, and spray them on the soil (has to above 68F soil temp). The nematodes will invade larvae of pests like Japanese beetles, grubs and other harmful insects. The nematodes will lay eggs inside the grubs and eat the larvae from the inside out.

I did my Master's research project on the C. elegans nematode species. You want an idea for a horror film? An agar plate visibly squirming because it has been 7 days since you placed an initial colony of 5 worms on the surface. Note: an adult C. elegans is about 1 mm long so if you can see the agar plate squirming with the naked eye, that's A LOT of worms sliding over each other.

My professor told us at the beginning of the course, that when students get to see the worms for the first time, there's always this one person, that's has a fright at the sight of the worms and needs to go outside and calm down 😅.I know what you mean with creepy. We also worked with a.strain that has no vulva, and when our professor told us, that these worms don't lay the eggs- because not possible- but instead the worms hatch and develop inside and the mother just bursts and they go free, there was kind of a silence in the room....so yeah, nematodes are perfect horror creatures

She studied them in regard to the control of their assymetric seam cell (stem-cell-like-cells) divisions to find genes regulating those divisions. I love SciShow ❤

Im so happy to see these squiggly bois getting a bit more attention. They're a large focus of my research in Stockholm. They're incredibly diverse but tricky to properly capture and classify unless you're a true nematode veteran. So my team and myself are currently using metagenomic (metabarcoding) techniques to get a better feel for their diversity. This way we hope these guys can tell us more about the environments they inhabit.

Nice synopsis on Nematodes Hank! As an undergrad at the U of MD I took a few Parasitology courses & one of our professors was responsible for not only figuring out the life cycle of Heartworm disease in dogs but also was instrumental in developing a drug to prevent the infection. The culprit is the roundworm Dirofilaria immitis which can infect Dogs, Cats & Ferrets. It is transmitted via Mosquitoes, as are many diseases. Nasty little critters but still part of the natural world around us!

I learned a cool nematode fact recently. There is a nematode species that makes the vitamin B-12. Many animals have evolved a symbiotic relationship with this nematode, one of which is humans. Unfortunately, our B-12 nematodes live in our small intestine and the B12 they make can't be absorbed. Lucky for us, though, ruminates, like cows, can absorb the nematodes' B12. B12 deficient humans still have B12 in their feces, because it's made in our gut, just not absorbed. This is not an endorsement of eating your own poop for B12, though.

I actually saw some nematodes during my high school "Biome in a Bottle" experiment. The teacher called everyone over and we got to see something nice.

Man imagine humans excreting urine from their sweat glands. We would have invented perfume way earlier.

Nematodes are microbes, so it really feels like Hank should be talking slower.

well, as Hank pointed out, the largest nematodes are very macroscopic :)

Worked on a dissertation project on C elgans in the final semester of Mol. Bio course and instantly fell in love with them.. Continued working on the project after that for more than a year.. beauty about the organism is, in a way they reply to you or communicate to your signals ( I know I'm a hopeless lonely individual).. Unfortunately, they are much lesser known than drosophila or mice and people tend to get disgusted by the idea of working with a roundworm or when they see worms wiggling under the microscope. This video marvellously extrapolates the dynamic world of nematodes.. Keep up the good work! :)

What you mean I’ve never seen nematodes? They literally drank SpongeBobs house to death - mischievous creatures, those nematodes

So, who would win in a fight? A nematode or a tardigrade?

@beth8775 4 жыл бұрын

That depends on whether the nematode can parasitize the tardigrade I suppose.

@jamesmerkel1932 4 жыл бұрын

Well, tardigrades have survived exposure to space so I'm fairly sure they have the edge in survival capabilities, but the nematodes have the edge in offensive skills. I think it's time for a deathbattle!
