Morphology and infraciliature of a new marine ciliate, Cinetochilum ovale n. sp. (Ciliophora: Oligohymenophorea)

Zootaxa, 2008
The morphology and infraciliature of a new oligohymenophorean ciliate, Cinetochilum ovale n. sp., isolated from the littoral sediment of the Bohai Sea, northern China, were investigated using live observations and silver impregnations. This new species as follows: size about 20–30 × 15–25 µm in vivo, body oval in outline, with 12–13 bipolar somatic ...

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.

Intrageneric evolutionary timing and hidden genetic diversity of Paramecium lineages (Ciliophora: Oligohymenophorea)

Systematics and Biodiversity, 2020
Members of the genus Paramecium (Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea) are widespread ciliates able to colonize many fresh, brackish and marine water environments around the globe.

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.

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.

Molecular Phylogenetics of Subclass Peritrichia (Ciliophora: Oligohymenophorea) Based on Expanded Analyses of 18S rRNA Sequences

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, 2007
ABSTRACT. Phylogenetic relationships among peritrich ciliates remain unclear in spite of recent progress. To expand the analyses performed in previous studies, and to statistically test hypotheses of monophyly, we analyzed a broad sample of 18s rRNA sequences (including 15 peritrich genera), applying a conservative alignment strategy and several ...

The enigmatic genus Malacophrys Kahl, 1926 (Ciliophora: Intramacronucleata) belongs to the class Oligohymenophorea

Protist
The ciliate genus Malacophrys has been incertae sedis for more than 50 years in what is now subphylum Intramacronucleata, provisionally assigned to three different classes by various authors. Of the three species included in the genus, M. sphagni and the type species, Malacophrys rotans, have not been studied by modern methods and M.

Phylogenetic relationships of the subclass Peritrichia (Oligohymenophorea, Ciliophora) inferred from small subunit rRNA gene sequences.

The Journal of eukaryotic microbiology, 2004
The phylogenetic relationships among peritrichs remain unresolved. In this study, the complete small subunit rRNA (SSrRNA) gene sequences of seven species (Epistylis galea, Campanella umbellaria, Carchesium polypinum, Zoothamnium arbuscula, Vaginicola crystallina, Ophrydium versatile, and Opercularia microdiscum) were determined. Trees were constructed

Morphological Redesription of A Freshwater Ciliate Paramoecium Caudatum (Ciliophora: Oligohymenophorea) From Saradwadi Dam

2023
Abstract:  Total 35 water samples were collected from Saradwadi dam, located near Sinnar, Nashik district, Maharashtra, India. Samples were collected for the period from December 2021 to April 2022. During the present investigation a free-living freshwater ciliate Paramoecium caudatum was found and identified morphologically.

Telotroch formation, survival, and attachment in the epibiotic peritrich Zoothamnium intermedium (Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea)

Invertebrate Biology, 2008
Abstract. Aspects of the life cycle of the peritrich ciliate Zoothamnium intermedium, an epibiont on calanoid copepods in the Chesapeake Bay, were investigated using host and epibiont cultures. Experiments were designed to characterize the formation, survival, and attachment of free‐swimming stages (telotrochs) and to assess whether telotrochs ...
