Breslauides ciliate protozoan. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a ciliate protozoan (Breslauides sp.). This tiny single-celled organism is found in water. It feeds on bacteria and decaying organic matter,which it filters through membranelles in its primitive mouth,known as a buccal cavity (bottom right). The membranelles,rows of fused cilia (short microscopic hairs),are also used for locomotion | |
