Dileptus
''Dileptus'' is a genus of unicellular ciliates in the class Litostomatea. Species of ''Dileptus'' occur in fresh and salt water, as well as mosses and soils. Most are aggressive predators equipped with long, mobile proboscides lined with toxic extrusomes, with which they stun smaller organisms before consuming them. 13 species and subspecies of ''Dileptus'' are currently recognized.Vďačný, Peter, and Wilhelm Foissner. Monograph of the dileptids (Protista, Ciliophora, Rhynchostomatia). Land Oberösterreich, Biologiezentrum/Oberösterreichische Landesmuseen, 2012 ''Dileptus'' species have served as model organisms, used in the study of ciliary patterns, ontogenesis, conjugation and food acquisition. Appearance and characteristics ''Dileptus'' bodies are typically narrow or cylindrical, and have a macronucleus made up of more than a hundred scattered nodules. During cell division, these nodules divide individually. At the front end of the cell is a mobile proboscis. The cyto ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dileptus Margaritifer
''Dileptus margaritifer'' is a species of ciliates in the family '' Dileptidae.'' It is common in freshwater streams, lakes and ponds, as well as mosses and soil. The species has been found on every continent except Antarctica.Vďačný, Peter, and Wilhelm Foissner. Monograph of the dileptids (Protista, Ciliophora, Rhynchostomatia). Land Oberösterreich, Biologiezentrum/Oberösterreichische Landesmuseen, 2012: 294-314 Because of a taxonomic error by one researcher in the 19th century, specimens of ''Dileptus margaritifer'' have been misidentified in most studies as ''Dileptus anser'' (Müller, 1773). Morphology ''Dileptus margaritifer'' has a slender body, usually about 450 µm in length and very flexible, narrowing at the posterior into a small, sharp tail. At its front, it has a broad and tapering proboscis, reminiscent of an elephant's trunk in its shape and flexibility, but with a flattened rather than round cross-section. The proboscis is 1/3 to 1/2 of the total body len ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dileptus Anser
''Pseudomonilicaryon anser'' is a species of unicellular ciliates in the family Dileptidae, also known under the names ''Dileptus anser'' and ''Dileptus cygnus''. The species is common in fresh water ponds, stagnant pools, mosses and soils. For nearly a century and a half, the species was classified in the genus ''Dileptus''. In 2012, following a comprehensive review of the dileptid group, it was moved to the genus ''Pseudomonilicaryon'', which is distinguished from ''Dileptus'' by the shape of its macronucleus. The macronucleus of ''Pseudomonilicaryon'' is arranged like a string of beads, whereas that of ''Dileptus'' is composed of small nodules scattered throughout the cytoplasm of the cell.Vďačný, Peter, and Wilhelm Foissner. Monograph of the dileptids (Protista, Ciliophora, Rhynchostomatia). Land Oberösterreich, Biologiezentrum/Oberösterreichische Landesmuseen, 2012: 361-70 History and classification ''Pseudomonilicaryon anser'' has had a long and confusing history, ...
