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 ...

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 ...

But a tiny ciliate protozoa, fished out of a pond in the United Kingdom, breaks all the usual rules, according to a recent study in PLOS Genetics. Per the standard genetic code, the machinery of the ...

Many eukaryotes possess special structures such as flagella and cilia. Flagella are hairlike organelles that protozoa, for instance, employ to propel their cell bodies. Cilia, as seen in Paramecium, ...

The single-celled protozoan Euplotes eurystomus, however, achieves a scurrying walk using a simple, mechanical computer to coordinate its microscopic legs, UC San Francisco researchers reported on ...

A ciliated protozoan Balantidium coli infects the intestine and causes complications leading to balantidiasis. Balantidium (largest protozoan) is the only ciliate capable of infecting humans.

By 1845, Protozoa was established as a phylum or subset of the animal kingdom by German scientist Carl Theodor von Seibold. This phylum included certain ciliates and amoebas, which were described ...
