The First Record of Intestinal Ciliates from the Mountain Zebra (Equus zebra) in South Africa
Acta Protozoologica, 2021 This paper is a first report on species of endosymbiotic ciliates (Litostomatea, Trichostomatia) inhabiting the intestine of zebras in South Africa.

Effect of large- and small- bodied zooplankton on phytoplankton in a eutrophic oxbow [PDF]
, 2005 Macrozooplankton and microzooplankton effects on the phytoplankton were measured in situ in a eutrophic lake. Indigenous phytoplankton were incubated for 5 days in 301 mesocosms with either the macro- and microzooplankton (complete), microzooplankton ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Ciliates represent central nodes in freshwater planktonic food webs, and many species show pronounced seasonality, with short-lived maxima of a few dominant taxa while many being rare or ephemeral.

mBio, 2019 Ciliates, a eukaryotic clade that is over 1 billion years old, are defined by division of genome function between transcriptionally inactive germline micronuclei and functional somatic macronuclei.

Techniques and tools for species identification in ciliates: a review.
International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2019 Ciliates are highly divergent unicellular eukaryotic organisms with nuclear dualism and a highly specialized ciliary pattern. They inhabit all biotopes and play crucial roles in regulating microbial food webs as they prey on bacteria, protists and even ...

Advances in Oceanography and Limnology, 2021 Plankton communities include both unicellular and multicellular organisms. An important unicellular component is represented by those protists (i.e., unicellular eukaryotes) that consume bacteria, other protists, and even small animals.

Diel transcriptional response of a California Current plankton microbiome to light, low iron, and enduring viral infection. [PDF]
, 2019 Phytoplankton and associated microbial communities provide organic carbon to oceanic food webs and drive ecosystem dynamics. However, capturing those dynamics is challenging. Here, an in situ, semi-Lagrangian, robotic sampler profiled pelagic microbes at

Simple mechanosense and response of cilia motion reveal the intrinsic habits of ciliates
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018 Significance Single-celled microorganisms are important in ecosystems, and their behaviors impact the Earth’s environments. To survive in harsh environments, these organisms frequently act as though exercising discretion.

Phytoplankton Community Dynamic: A Driver for Ciliate Trophic Strategies
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018 Phytoplankton plays a key role as primary producers and mediating biogeochemical cycles in the water column. The understanding of the temporal dynamic of primary grazers channeling energy and carbon from primary producers is important for evaluating ...
