Feeding behaviour and grazing impacts of a Euplotes sp. on attached bacteria

The locomotory and feeding responses of a Euplotes sp. to attached populations of Vibrio natriegens and Pseudomonas fluorescens in a continuous flow system were analyzed by computer image analysis of video microscopy recordings. Upon entry into the chamber, the ciliates moved in long continuous arcs...

Summary:The locomotory and feeding responses of a Euplotes sp. to attached populations of Vibrio natriegens and Pseudomonas fluorescens in a continuous flow system were analyzed by computer image analysis of video microscopy recordings. Upon entry into the chamber, the ciliates moved in long continuous arcs 300 mum in length during which time no bacteria were consumed.
