In this work we propose a generalized model to explain encystment (cryptobiosis) in ciliates.
The model is elaborated from both structural and physiological studies previously reported …

The common occurrence of foraminifera in strata deposited under anoxic environmental
conditions throughout the geologic record raises the question of whether foraminifera …

In unfavourable conditions, ciliated protists lower or shut down their metabolic activities and
form resting cysts to survive. According to the present knowledge, most studies are based on …

So far, neither morphology nor gene sequences have provided a reliable classification of
halteriid and hypotrichid spirotrichs. Thus, we performed a comparative study on the fine …

Resting cysts protect ciliates against adverse environmental conditions. The morphology
and ultrastructure of resting cysts has been described in very few Oligotrichea, a group of …

Meseres corlissi Petz et Foissner, 1992 is a planktonic, spirotrich ciliate closely related to the
common Halteria grandinella. Pure cultures were established with Cryptomonas sp. as a …

Ciliates are able to form resting cysts as a survival strategy in response to stressful
environmental factors. Studies on the characteristics of cellular structure during encystment …

This is the first detailed study on the morphology of the resting cysts of an oxytrichid ciliate,
Rigidohymena quadrinucleata. Resting cysts were investigated using light microscopy, SEM …

Resting cysts of Parentocirrus hortualis were investigated, using live observation, SEM and
TEM. Processes during encystation and excystation were observed in vivo under the light …
