Diversity of apostome ciliates,Chromidinaspp. (Oligohymenophorea, Opalinopsidae), parasites of cephalopods of the Mediterranean Sea [PDF]

Parasite, 2016
Chromidina spp. are enigmatic apostome ciliates (Oligohymenophorea, Opalinopsidae) that parasitise the renal and pancreatic appendages of cephalopods. Only four species have been described, among which only three have been formally named. No DNA sequence has been reported so far. To investigate Chromidina spp.

Morphological diversity and molecular phylogeny of five Paramecium bursaria (Alveolata, Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea) syngens and the identification of their green algal endosymbionts [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2022
AbstractParamecium bursaria is a mixotrophic ciliate species, which is common in stagnant and slow-flowing, nutrient-rich waters. It is usually found living in symbiosis with zoochlorellae (green algae) of the genera Chlorella or Micractinium. We investigated P.

Phylogeny of Neobursaridium reshapes the systematics of Paramecium (Oligohymenophorea, Ciliophora) [PDF]

Zoologica Scripta, 2020
AbstractThe subclass Peniculia (Oligohymenophorea, Intramacronucleata) is one of the most known groups of the phylum Ciliophora, being composed by very notorious representatives, such as Paramecium and Frontonia. Nevertheless, phylogenetic relationships among genera within this subclass are still far from being resolved.

A new marine ciliate, Apofrontonia jejuensis n. sp. (Protozoa, Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea) from Jeju Island, South Korea, and an improved diagnosis of the genus Apofrontonia [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
The genus Apofrontonia comprises vicarious species that until now have only been described in a few locations worldwide. It was assigned to the family Frontoniidae based on two diagnostic features, i.e., the closely arranged kinetal rows in the peniculi ...

Further insights into the phylogeny of peniculid ciliates (Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea) based on multigene data

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2021
Peniculids comprise a large order of ciliated protists in Class Oligohymenophorea having many unresolved evolutionary relationships. Herein, we report 27 new sequences, including 18S rRNA, ITS1-5.8S- ITS2 rRNA, 28S rRNA and the mitochondrial cox1 genes of eight peniculids.

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.
