The search finds an end: the morphologically chimeric hysterocinetids belong to the subclass Hymenostomatia (Ciliophora: Oligohymenophorea)

Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2023
Abstract The digestive tract of oligochaetes harbours a diverse ciliate community embracing plagiotomids, nyctotherids, astomes, and hysterocinetids. Although several hundred intestinal ciliate species are known, only two hysterocinetids have been reported from the intestine of Holarctic lumbricid earthworms hitherto.

Identification of a Ciliate (Oligohymenophorea: Scuticociliatia) Associated with Brown Band Disease on Corals of the Great Barrier Reef [PDF]

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology, 2008
ABSTRACT A ciliate associated with the coral disease brown band (BrB) was identified as a new species belonging to the class Oligohymenophorea, subclass Scuticociliatia. The ciliates were characterized by the presence of large numbers of intracellular dinoflagellates and displayed an elongated, tube-shaped body structure.

Phylogenomic analyses reveal subclass Scuticociliatia as the sister group of subclass Hymenostomatia within class Oligohymenophorea

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2015
Scuticociliates and hymenostomes are two groups of the ciliate class Oligohymenophorea, a diverse clade that includes two model genera, Tetrahymena and Paramecium, which have been intensively studied due to their ease of culture and their amenability to a wide range of biochemical and genetic investigations.

Insights into the origin and evolution of Peritrichia (Oligohymenophorea, Ciliophora) based on analyses of morphology and phylogenomics

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2019
Peritrichia is a large and distinctive assemblage of ciliated protists that was first observed by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek over 340 years ago. In the last two decades the evolutionary relationships of this subclass have been increasingly debated as morphological and molecular analyses have generated contrasting conclusions.

Transcriptome analysis on chlorpyrifos detoxification in Uronema marinum (Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea)

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2018
Chlorpyrifos (CPF) pollution has drawn widespread concerns in aquatic environments due to its risks to ecologic system, however, the response mechanisms of ciliates to CPF pollution were poorly studied. In our current work, the degradation of CPF by ciliates and the morphological changes of ciliates after CPF exposure were investigated.

Polymorphism of Paramecium pentaurelia (Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea) strains revealed by rDNA and mtDNA sequences

European Journal of Protistology, 2011
Paramecium pentaurelia is one of 15 known sibling species of the Paramecium aurelia complex. It is recognized as a species showing no intra-specific differentiation on the basis of molecular fingerprint analyses, whereas the majority of other species are polymorphic. This study aimed at assessing genetic polymorphism within P. pentaurelia including new

Identification of the pathogenic ciliate Pseudocohnilembus persalinus (Oligohymenophorea: Scuticociliatia) by fluorescence in situ hybridization

European Journal of Protistology, 2014
Many scuticociliatid ciliates are regarded as devastating pathogens in aquaculture. Among these, Pseudocohnilembus persalinus is a facultative pathogen that often results in refractory diseases of mariculture fish. Although traditional silver staining methods have been successfully used to identify these ciliates, their identification is hampered by ...

New Paramecium (Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea) congeners shape our view on its biodiversity

Organisms Diversity & Evolution, 2015
Paramecium is one of the best known and most intensely studied ciliate genera. It currently comprises 18 morphospecies including the P. aurelia complex of 15 sibling species. Here, we describe the new morphospecies Paramecium buetschlii sp. nov. from a freshwater pool in Norway, featuring unusual combinations of morphological characters and a high ...

Paramecium (Oligohymenophorea, Ciliophora) diversity in Thailand sheds light on the genus biogeography and reveals new phylogenetic lineages

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, 2023
AbstractParamecium (Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea) is a good model to study ciliate biogeography. Extensive sampling mainly in northern hemisphere has led to 16 valid morphological species description thus far. However, a majority of hard‐to‐reach regions, including South East Asia, are underinvestigated.
