Motile Cilia: Innovation and Insight From Ciliate Model Organisms
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2019 Ciliates are a powerful model organism for the study of basal bodies and motile cilia. These single-celled protists contain hundreds of cilia organized in an array making them an ideal system for both light and electron microscopy studies.

Taxonomical study of ciliates species (Order: Holotricha) in Zayandeh Rud River and the reservoirreservoir [PDF]
بومشناسی آبزیان, 2023 Ciliates are among the largest classes of protozoans. They can be found in almost every aquatic environment. Ciliates serve as an intermediate link in the energy transfer chain from picoplankton to zooplankton.

Ciliate Gene Unscrambling with Fewer Templates [PDF]
, 2010 One of the theoretical models proposed for the mechanism of gene unscrambling in some species of ciliates is the template-guided recombination (TGR) system by Prescott, Ehrenfeucht and Rozenberg which has been generalized by Daley and McQuillan from a ...
