Attachment of the peritrich epibiont Zoothamnium intermedium Precht, 1935 (Ciliophora, Peritrichia) to artificial substrates in a natural environment.
Peritrich ciliates are commonly found as epibionts, colonizing living organisms, or attached to non-living substrates in freshwater, estuarine and marine environments. Several species of peritrich epibionts are obligate, which means that they are able to only colonize other organisms, while others are facultative attaching to living or non-living substrates. The peritrich Zoothamnium intermediu...
متن کاملEpistylis smalli (Ciliophora: Peritrichia) a new peritrich from Guaiba Lake, Southern Brazil.
Epistylis smalli n. sp., a freshwater colonial peritrich, was collected in Guaíba Lake, Southern Brazil. Its morphology was investigated using in vivo observations and protargol stained specimens. E. smalli possess an elongate zooid that measures in vivo, on average, 173 μm in length and 50 μm in width. A C-shaped macronucleus that surrounds the infundibulum and a single contractile vacuole cou...
