Description:
Bodo designis, small flagellate, with two flagella, moving with a rotating motion, skipping or gliding motion. The flagella insert into a small subapical pocket, as is suggested by the subapical depression. One of the most common of the bodonids, found in almost every habitat so far studied. Moves by skipping near surfaces. It stops to ingest attached or detrital bacteria with the anterior mouth (in the rostrum). Phase contrast.
