Meanings of ciliates in English

The putatively asexual Colpodean ciliates potentially pose a problem to macro-organismic theories of evolution.

Small to medium-sized ciliates, with an unchanging form.

The transport of ciliates through the columns was monitored at the same time that predation was monitored.

Medium-sized ciliates of general bell-like form.

Both the expansion of the excystment vacuole and the emergence of ciliates occurred even when the cysts were immersed in hypertonic medium.

The challenge that colpodean ciliates pose is therefore not to evolutionary theory, but to our ability to induce microbial eukaryotic sex in the laboratory.

It is one of the commonest and most widely spread ciliates known, although at Woods Hole I was surprised to see it so rarely.

Heterotrichous ciliates play an important role in aquatic ecosystem energy flow processes and many are model organisms for research in cytology, regenerative biology, and toxicology.

Here we show using de novo genome sequencing, that colpodean ciliates have the meiotic genes required for sex and these genes are under functional constraint.

If macro-organismic theories of evolution also broadly apply to microbial eukaryotes, though, then most or all of the colpodean ciliates should merely be secretively sexual.

Some (the Flagellates) have one or two stout oars; some (the Ciliates) have numbers of fine hairs (or cilia).

Retardation of ciliate transport was greater in columns containing attached bacteria than in bacterium-free columns.

E. CILIARIS.- Aprettynative species, with ciliate glandular leaves, and racemes of highly-coloured ,rosyflowers.

It was this form, I believe, that Peck '95 described as a "ciliate."
