Image de Chlamydodontida

Description :

Chlamydodon (clam-ee-doe-don), alga-eating hypostome ciliate, so called because the mouth opens on the ventral surface of the cell. Common in marine habitats. The mouth is used to ingest filamentous algae - and a separate series of images illustrates this process. Phase contrast.
