Using digital PCR to predict ciliate abundance from ribosomal RNA gene copy numbers
Environmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 4, April 2024.We have developed a digital polymerase chain reaction assay for quantifying the small subunit of the ribosomal RNA gene copies in ciliates. This protocol has proven effective in quantifying the cellular abundance of ciliates in environmental samples. Notably, our method can reliably detect as few as a single cell in a sample.

Two-Decade Changes in the Ciliate Assemblage Feeding Pattern Reflect the Reservoir Nutrient Load
DiversityThe perception of the importance of ciliate in freshwater has changed dramatically since the “microbial loop” conceptualisation, reflecting methodological attempts.

Multiflagellarity leads to the size-independent swimming speed of peritrichous bacteria
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2023 To swim through a viscous fluid, a flagellated bacterium must overcome the fluid drag on its body by rotating a flagellum or a bundle of multiple flagella. Because the drag increases with the size of bacteria, it is expected theoretically that the swimming speed of a bacterium inversely correlates with its body length.

Newly discovered associations between peritrich ciliates (Ciliophora: Peritrichia) and scale polychaetes (Annelida: Polynoidae and Sigalionidae) with a review of polychaete–peritrich epibiosis [PDF]
Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2019 AbstractIn this research, we report the presence of two ciliate protozoans of the subclass Peritrichia, Cothurnia amphicteis and C. peloscolicis, as epibionts on the chaetae of scaled polychaetes Malmgrenia lilianae, M. andreapolis (fam. Polynoidae) and Sthenelais boa (fam. Sigalionidae), from the north Adriatic (Mediterranean Sea).

Predicted Auxiliary Navigation Mechanism of Peritrichously Flagellated Chemotactic Bacteria
PLoS Computational Biology, 2010 Chemotactic movement of Escherichia coli is one of the most thoroughly studied paradigms of simple behavior. Due to significant competitive advantage conferred by chemotaxis and to high evolution rates in bacteria, the chemotaxis system is expected to be strongly optimized.

The Change from Polar to Peritrichous Flagellation in Chromobacterium spp. [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1956 SUMMARY: Some strains of Chromobacterium exhibit either polar or mixed polar and peritrichous flagellation according to the conditions of culture. Polar and lateral flagella differ in the site of insertion, the wavelength, ease of staining, and in antigenic composition. Peritrichous flagellation is greatest in young cultures on solid media and is least
