Vorticella Zoospore ...video

Post by fpelectronica »

Peritrichous ciliates of peduncle arising from the state of zoospores. According to the literature, this state is due to dissatisfaction with the environment or on grounds of sexual reproduction. I have personally seen many divisions of these ciliates while they were tied to the peduncle and none in the state of zoospores
In this video we see the state of zoospores vaginicolla, I think V. Campanula.
Some of these zoospores become confused by their appearance, with ciliates and Didinium Dermine or Monodinium
If you look, these zoospores suffer the classic contractions of peritrichous ciliates, which does not happen in the ciliate Didinium, besides the enormous speed of travel Didinium
