The morphology and infraciliature of a new ciliate, Tunicothrix rostrata ng, n. sp., isolated
from the Yellow Sea, are investigated using live observation and protargol impregnation …

The diversity of the classes Odontostomatea and Muranotrichea, which contain solely
obligate anaerobes, is poorly understood. We studied two populations of Mylestoma sp., one …

The morphology and morphogenesis of a new marine hypotrich ciliate, Apokeronopsis
bergeri nov. spec., collected from mussel-farming waters near Qingdao, China, are …

Ciliates are morphologically diverse and highly specialized unicellular eukaryotes that
constitute an important component of the microbial food web. Aspidisca Ehrenberg, 1830, is …

The morphology and infraciliature of two new marine cyrtophorid ciliates, Paracyrtophoron
tropicum nov. gen., nov. spec. and Aegyria rostellum nov. spec., isolated from tropical waters …

Hypotrichs are the most complex and highly differentiated ciliate lineages and have great
potential for evolutionary novelties. Problems in hypotrich systematics are mainly due to …

This study represents the first extended report on a species of the ciliathd genus Peritromus,
widespread in marine biotopes, characterized by a dorso‐ventral differentiation peculiar …

Twenty‐six marine benthic ciliates including seven new species were isolated from King
George Island, Antarctic. The morphology and taxonomy of 19 of them are described in the …

Antarctica is a remote and isolated biotope which makes it an ideal location for studying new
and endemic species. Since there is little literature available on the diversity of ciliates in this …

The cortical development of Diophryopsis hystrix, a small marine euplotid ciliate, was
observed during binary division. The pattern of morphogenesis is generally similar to that of …
