Vorticella is a genus of bell-shaped ciliates that have stalks to attach themselves to substrates. The stalks have contractile myonemes, allowing them to pull the cell body against substrates. [1] . The formation of the stalk happens after the free-swimming stage. [2]

钟虫（Vorticella）已描述的有150种，但有人表示怀疑，虽如此种类数目多定是无疑。 常见种有小口钟虫（V．microstoma）、 八钟虫 （V．Octava）、 沟钟虫 （V．Convallaria）、领钟虫（V．aequilata）等8～9种。

In this article we will discuss about the structure and reproduction of vorticella, explained with the help of a suitable diagram. Structure of Vorticella: 1. The body is a solid inverted bell from the base of which runs a narrow stalk made of contractile elements by which the animal is permanently attached to some submerged substratum (Fig. 18 ...

Vorticella Characteristics, Structure, Reproduction and Habitat Overview: What is Vorticella? Vorticella is a protozoa (protist) that belongs to the phylum Ciliophora. As such, they are eukaryotic ciliates that can be found in such habitats as …

Vorticella, genus of the ciliate protozoan order Peritrichida, a bell-shaped or cylindrical organism with a conspicuous ring of cilia (hairlike processes) on the oral end and a contractile unbranched stalk on the aboral end; cilia usually are not found between the oral and aboral ends.

2023年8月3日 · Vorticella (L., vortex =whirl pool) is a microscopic, unicellular eukaryotic ciliate. It occurs as a sessile attached by a stalk to the substratum. Its body is almost bell-shaped or campanulate with a free anterior end surrounded by cilia. The …

2010年8月7日 · Vorticella are heterotrophic organsims. They prey on bacteria. Vorticella use their cilia to create a current of water (vortex) to direct food towards its mouth. Typically, Vorticella reproduce via binary fission. The new organism splits from the parent and swims until it can find something on which to anchor itself.

Vorticella (also known as the “Bell Animalcule”) is a genus of the ciliate protozoan. They are tiny, single-cellular, animal-like microorganisms. Vorticella is known for its bell-shaped head with a conspicuous ring of cilia (hair-like processes). Vorticella also has an unbranched stalk that anchors its body on a solid object.

2012年1月1日 · Vorticella Linnaeus, 1767 was the earliest genus name in use for a peritrich and is one of the most common and important groups of ciliates, inhabiting all marine, freshwater and terrestrial biotopes (Corliss, 1979, Foissner et al., 1992, Lynn, 2008, Sun et …

In this article we will discuss about the structure of vorticella. This will also help you to draw the structure and diagram of vorticella. 1. These are freshwater and solitary animals found attached to the aquatic plants or stones etc. 2. Body of these animals is devoid of ciliation except at the free anterior end which is surrounded by cilia.
