Re: What are some unicellular organisms that live in the Rocky Mountain region?

Hi Lauren

First I think it is important to differentiate unicellular organisms into 
two groups: procaryotic (ie bacteria) and eucaryotic (ie protists). A good 
webpage for explaining the differentiation is found  here 


Bacteria are pretty ubiquitous in the world so ones found in the rockies 
may also be found in other locations howerver certain strains may be 
unique to specific envrionments.  Here are some websites to help you 
investigate types of bacteria and their different environments:

Microbe World 

Microbe 
Zoo 


An interesting eucaryotic organism found in snowy environents such as the 
rockies is described as snow algae 


Good luck
