The peritrichs (Latin: Peritrichia) are a large and distinctive group of ciliates. The peritrichs were first defined by Friedrich von Stein in 1859. Initially...

The peritrich nuclear code (translation table 30) is a genetic code used by the nuclear genome of the peritrich ciliates Vorticella and Opisthonecta....

Epistylis is a genus of usually colonial peritrich ciliates with a short oral disc and collar, and a rigid stalk. The rigid stalk differentiates Epistylis...

the oral cilia are inconspicuous and sometimes reduced, but among the peritrichs almost the opposite is the case. Members are widely distributed, and include...

haploid micronuclei are exchanged over the bridge. In some ciliates (peritrichs, chonotrichs and some suctorians), conjugating cells become permanently...
