Abstract: We collected a heterotrich ciliate from hypersaline waters on the Cape Verde island Sal. After living observation and protargol-staining, it closely matched Blepharisma halophilum Ruinen, 1938. However, because (i) Ruinen most likely described several different… read more here.

Abstract: Significance Ciliates are microbial eukaryotes with a unique life cycle: their cells contain two kinds of nuclei, and during development, they eliminate thousands of DNA segments thought to have originated from transposons. Because there are… read more here.
