Notes

Some factors for the occurrence of reconjugation were investigated in Euplotes patella. In addition to mating activity of exconjugants, exconjugant-free fluid, presence of vegetative cells and cell density seem to be concerned with the occurrence of reconjugation. Moreover, peristomal reorganization of exconjugants probably decides the time when most of reconjugating pairs appear.
