Tetrahymena are free-living ciliate protozoa that can also switch from commensalistic to pathogenicmodes of survival. They are common in freshwater ponds. Tetrahymena species used as model organisms in biomedical research are T. thermophila and T. pyriformis.[1] (From: Wikipedia, July 2015) read more

The rotifers (Rotifera, commonly called wheel animals) make up a phylum of microscopic and near-microscopic pseudocoelomate animals. They were first described by Rev. John Harris in 1696, and other forms were described by Anton van Leeuwenhoek in 1703.[1] Most rotifers are around 0.1–0.5 mm long (although their size can range from 50 μm to over 2 mm),[2] and […] read more

Graphic by Keeling Labwww3.botany.ubc.ca/keeling/
Phacus is a genus of unicellular protists, of the phylum Euglenozoa (also known as Euglenophyta). They are light-green and are commonly found in freshwater pools, propelling themselves by gyrating their bodies. They have a single flagellum which is often as long as the Phacus’ body. Euglenid, with plastids, rigid, flattened cells, most species very flat […] read more
