Contractile vacuoles: a rapidly expanding (and occasionally diminishing?) understanding
European Journal of ProtistologyOsmoregulation is the homeostatic mechanism essential for the survival of organisms in hypoosmotic and hyperosmotic conditions. In freshwater or soil dwelling protists this is frequently achieved through the action of an osmoregulatory organelle, the contractile vacuole.

A new member of the Eugleninele, Protoeuglena noctilucae Gen. et sp. Nov., occurring in Noctiluca miliaris Suriray, causing green discoloration of the sea off Calicut [PDF]
, 1954 The presence of small green flagellates inside Noctiluca appears to have been first recorded by Weber and Weber-van Bosse (1890) who, however, did not observe the living ...

European journal of cell biology, 2001 Fixation of the chrysophycean flagellate Poterioochromonas malhamensis in the presence of potassium (pyro) antimonate have been carried out. Intense antimonate deposits are characteristic of the various elements of the contractile vacuole as well as a portion of the plasma membrane adjacent to the contractile vacuole.

THE CONTRACTILE VACUOLE INPARAMECIUM TRICHIUM
The Biological Bulletin, 1928 1. There is an anterior and a posterior contractile vacuolar apparatus in Paramecium trichium.2. Each is permanent and consists of feeding vesicles, contractile vacuole, excretory tube and pore.3. The contractile vacuoles of Paramecium trichium are vesicle-fed, differing here from those of other well known species in the same genus which are canal-fed ...
