Reevaluation of the phylogenetic relationship between Mobilid and Sessilid peritrichs (Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea) based on small subunit rRNA genes sequences [PDF]

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, 2006
Based on morphological characters, peritrich ciliates (Class Olygohymenophorea, Subclass Peritrichia) have been subdivided into the Orders Sessilida and Mobilida.

Comparative genomics reveals details into the metabolism of peritrich ciliates (Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea and Peritrichia). [PDF]

Microb Genom
The subclass Peritrichia encompasses over 1,000 species of ciliates, demonstrating both wide distribution and significant morphological diversity across aquatic environments. Despite their ecological significance and unique biological attributes, genomic information for peritrichs has remained sparse.

Nuclear events during conjugation in the poorly studied model ciliate Paramecium jenningsi [PDF]

Water Biology and Security, 2023
Ciliated protists are highly differentiated unicellular eukaryotes that possess special sexual processes (conjugation and autogamy) that rely on their unique nuclear dimorphism, i.e., the presence of both a germline micronucleus (MIC) and a somatic ...

Candidatus Sonnebornia yantaiensis, a member of candidate division OD1, as intracellular bacteria of the ciliated protist Paramecium bursaria (Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea) [PDF]

, 2014
An intracellular bacterium was discovered in an isolate of Paramecium bursaria from a freshwater pond in Yantai, China. The bacteria were abundant and exclusively found in the cytoplasm of the host which, along with the green alga Chlorella, formed a ...

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

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.

Somatic genome architecture and molecular evolution are decoupled in "young" linage-specific gene families in ciliates. [PDF]

PLoS One
The evolution of lineage-specific gene families remains poorly studied across the eukaryotic tree of life, with most analyses focusing on the recent evolution of de novo genes in model species.
