Ciliates are found almost everywhere that there is sufficient water for them to move and feed, and are the primary consumers of bacteria in many habitats. Some are parasitic living either inside, or ...

Loxophyllum Ciliate Protozoan. Loxophyllum is a predatory protozoan. These single-celled organisms are ciliates, being covered in hair-like structures known as cilia. The cilia beat in synchronized ...

Paramecium are a part of a group of organisms known as ciliates, according to California Institute of Technology. ... this excess water leaves the paramecium body through a pore in the pellicle.

Anyone who has taken high school biology has likely come into contact with a ciliate. The much-studied paramecium is one of 7,000 species of ciliates, a vast group of microorganisms that share a ...

Ciliates, a group of single-celled ciliated eukaryotes, have been studied since the dawn of light microscopy, with over 10,000 species described. Cilia are the key feature of ciliates and ...

Herman Miller calls it the pellicle, and Stumpf and Chadwick essentially invented it in the early ‘90s. The pellicle, more than anything, defines the Aeron. At the time of its release, most ...

Background Nearly half of elite athletes have dental erosion. Modifying the dental pellicle (a layer adsorbed onto tooth surfaces) for protection has the potential to be a novel method to prevent ...

ASML’s goal is to have an EUV pellicle with an 88% transmission rate and above that can withstand a 300-watt source. Each pellicle must process 10,000 wafers before it is replaced. Today, though, ASML ...

When he damaged the semi-transparent pellicle mirror inside his camera with cleaning fluid, he went for broke. While waiting for a new €70 replacement mirror to show up, he rigged a temporary ...

Ciliates, just like humans, are colonized by a vast diversity of bacteria. Some ciliates and their bacterial symbionts have become friends for life, as researchers from the Max Planck Institute for ...
