Loxophyllum Ciliate Protozoan Loxophyllum is a predatory protozoan. These single-celled organisms are ciliates, being covered in hair-like structures known as cilia. The cilia beat in synchronized ...

Ciliate protozoa possess the remarkable ability to reproduce through both asexual and sexual means. Their distinctive sexual process involves conjugation and autogamy, and they wield a secret ...

Ciliated protozoa use the cilia for locomotion, whether it be swimming, crawling, attachment, feeding or sensation. “This is how I go about looking at things,” Bourland says.

We are focusing our research on the systematics and diversity of free-living ciliates, particularly marine and brackish forms in costal waters.

Decades of genetics research suggest that nearly all living things, whether human, bacteria, fungus, or plant, use the same basic genetic code. But a tiny ciliate protozoa, fished out of a pond in the ...

A paper published in eLife by Alexey Amunts lab reports extraction of the mitoribosome from a ciliated protozoan and its reconstruction using cryo-EM. The ciliate mitoribosome substantially ...

The program, for example, has supported work on an instrument to measure the depth of the polar ice cap as well as research on the inheritance patterns in ciliate protozoa. The maximum amount for a ...

Vorticella, genus of the ciliate protozoan order Peritrichida, a bell-shaped or cylindrical organism with a conspicuous ring of cilia (hair like processes) on the oral end and a contractile unbranched ...
