Structure and dynamic of planktonic ciliate community in a large Neotropical river: the relevance of the pluviosity and tributaries in the biodiversity maintenance

Acta Limnologica Brasiliensia, 2017
Aim: We investigated the spatial and temporal patterns of abundance and diversity of planktonic ciliate community, in the last undammed stretch of the Upper Paraná River, Brazil.

PERITRICHOUS FLAGELLA IN MESOPHILIC STRAINS OF AEROMONAS

Japanese Journal of Medical Science and Biology, 1985
A total of 186 mesophilic strains of Aeromonas, comprising 151 A. hydrophila and 35 A. caviae, were tested for peritrichous flagella by Leifson's staining method. When incubated on solid medium for 18 hr at 22 C, peritrichous flagella were demonstrated in 28 (18.5%) of the 151 strains of A. hydrophila and in 6 (17.1%) of the 35 strains of A.

Naturally Occurring Microbiota Associated with Mosquito Breeding Habitats and Potential Parasitic Species against Mosquito Larvae: A Study from Gampaha District, Sri Lanka

BioMed Research International, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
A mosquito species has its own favourable requirements of abiotic and biotic characteristics including microbiota, in a breeding habitat. Some of the microbiota may cause parasitic or pathogenic effects to mosquito larvae such as species of viruses, parasitic bacteria, fungi, protists, entomopathogenic nematodes, and filamentous fungi.

Wall entrapment of peritrichous bacteria: a mesoscale hydrodynamics simulation study [PDF]

Soft Matter, 2020
Microswimmers such asE. Colibacteria accumulate at walls. Mesoscale hydrodynamic simulations show an intriguing dynamics due to the interplay of hydrodynamic and steric interactions, and a pronounced wobbling motion.

Larvicidal Effect of Vorticella microstoma (Ehrenberg, 1830) on Mosquito Larvae, and Morphological Changes under Induced Environmental Conditions

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Development of microbiota assemblage usually occurs in all most all domestic and peridomestic mosquito breeding habitats. There may be parasitic, epibiont, pathogenic, or even predatory species among this biota, and to investigate their potential against the mosquito population is worth studying.

PERITRICHOUS FLAGELLATION IN PLESIOMONAS SHIGELLOIDES STRAINS

Japanese Journal of Medical Science and Biology, 1991
In total, 131 strains of Plesiomonas shigelloides isolated from various sources were tested for peritrichous flagella by a flagella staining method. When incubated on a solid medium for 18 hr at 25 C, peritrichous flagella were demonstrated in 89 (68%) of them.

Biased re-orientation in the chemotaxis of peritrichous bacteria [PDF]

, 2020
Abstract Many kinds of peritrichous bacteria that repeat runs and tumbles by using multiple flagella exhibit chemotaxis by sensing a difference in the concentration of the attractant or repellent between two adjacent time points.

Morphology and molecular phylogeny of four epibiotic ciliates (Ciliophora, Peritrichia) from farmed red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii Girard, 1852, with notes on the geographic distributions of related taxa

Water Biology and Security
Aquaculture of red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii is an emerging farming industry in China. As shown recently, one of the most significant diseases affecting the red swamp crayfish is caused by overabundance of epibiotic peritrichs, a group of ...

Zooplankton Epibionts in Boreal Lakes: Associations With DOC and Host Community Traits

Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Epibiosis in aquatic ecosystems is well‐documented, yet the factors influencing epibiont prevalence and host selection remain unclear. This study investigates how water quality parameters and zooplankton community dynamics influence epibiont prevalence, with a focus on ecological implications.

Growth of the peritrich epibiont Zoothamnium intermedium Precht, 1935 (Ciliophora, Peritrichia) estimated from laboratory experiments

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Peritrich ciliates are commonly found colonizing living substrates. Although this a well known phenomenon, biological aspects of this relationship need to be studied in more detail.
