Notes

Ecological data on 132 species of ciliated Protozoa are summarized in tables showing the ecological valencies (or limits of tolerance) with regard to temperature, pH, O2 (DO), percentage of oxygen saturation, BOD5, free CO2, NH4, free NH3, H2S, salinity and number of bacteria. As far as available additional information about the range of optimal environmental conditions are presented. The saprobiological valencies (the so-called "Indicator value") of 72 ciliates are listed in table 1 using the 10-points-method of Zelinka & Marvan.
