Influence of hydrostatic pressure on the behaviour of three ciliate species isolated from the deep-sea floorNARA Subscribed
Locomotion is considered to be the main form of expression of ciliate behaviour regarding their overall life activity. But how ciliates behave under deep-sea conditions is still unclear. Data on the occurrence of ciliates in the deep sea are scarce and mostly based on molecular studies. We isolated three different ciliates, Aristerostoma sp., Euplotes dominicanus and Pseudocohnilembus persalinus from two stations located in ab...
Extreme environmental conditions in the deep sea hamper access to protist communities. In combination with the potentially highly diverse species composition, it demands a wide range of methods to be applied at the same time to guarantee a high resolution of quantitative and qualitative studies of deep-sea heterotrophic flagellates (HF). Within this study, we present a possible combination of several culture-independent and cu...
