Loxophyllum ciliate. Light micrograph of a Loxophyllum helus ciliate protozoan. This tiny single-celled organism is found in marine environments. It feeds on bacteria and decaying organic matter,which it filters through membranelles in its primitive mouth,known as a buccal cavity (lower right). The membranelles,rows of fused cilia (short microscopic hairs),are also used for locomotion. Magnification: x230 when printed at 10 centimetres wide | |
