Taxonomy and Phylogeny of Two Spirotrichean Ciliates (Alveolata, Protista, and Ciliophora) From a Plateau Saline–Alkaline Lake in Tibet, China, Including Description of a New Species

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
There are few researches concerning ciliates from “extreme” environments such as plateau salt lakes; nevertheless, such a faunistic survey is of great significance for understanding the diversity and biogeography of these microeukaryotes.

Phytoplankton Community Dynamic: A Driver for Ciliate Trophic Strategies

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Some Aspects of the Physiology of the Nyctotherus velox, a Commensal Ciliated Protozoon Taken from the Hindgut of the Tropical Millipede Archispirostreptus gigas

open access: yesLife, 2023
In this paper, the growth requirements, fermentation pattern, and hydrolytic enzymatic activities of anaerobic ciliates collected from the hindgut of the African tropical millipede Archispirostreptus gigas are described.

Techniques and tools for species identification in ciliates: a review.

open access: yesInternational 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 ...

Sessile Ciliates (Ciliophora) from Extreme Habitats [PDF]

open access: yesЖурнал Сибирского федерального университета: Серия Биология, 2016
The present article addresses an overview of different types of extreme habitats in which sessile ciliates were found. Ciliates were found in different extreme habitats (marine deep waters, hypersaline, caves, and subterranean waters). Authors registered

An autumn biodiversity survey on heterotrophic and mixotrophic protists along a coast-to-offshore transect in the Gulf of Naples (Italy)

open access: yesAdvances 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.

Systematic studies on ciliates (Alveolata, Ciliophora) in China: Progress and achievements based on molecular information.

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Protistology, 2017
Due to complex morphological and convergent morphogenetic characters, the systematics of ciliates has long been ambiguous. Since 1990, the Laboratory of Protozoology, Ocean University of China, in collaboration with other research groups worldwide, has ...

Can a fermentation gas mainly produced by rumen Isotrichidae ciliates be a potential source of biohydrogen and a fuel for a chemical fuel cell? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Bacteria, fungi and protozoa inhabiting the rumen – the largest chamber of the ruminants’ stomach, release large quantities of hydrogen during the fermentation of carbohydrates.

An overview of Suctorian ciliates (Ciliophora, Suctorea) as epibionts of halacarid mites (Acari, Halacaridae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Scant information is available regarding the prevalence and distribution of suctorian ciliates on halacarid mites. However, using this limited information and data from our laboratory on the systematics, biology, ecology and distribution of suctorian ...

Exploration of the Germline Genome of the Ciliate Chilodonella uncinata through Single-Cell Omics (Transcriptomics and Genomics)

open access: yesmBio, 2018
Separate germline and somatic genomes are found in numerous lineages across the eukaryotic tree of life, often separated into distinct tissues (e.g., in plants, animals, and fungi) or distinct nuclei sharing a common cytoplasm (e.g., in ciliates and some
