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