Notes
Vorticella campanula, V. microstoma, V. nebulifera, and V. picta were propagated and studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Our SEM studies make possible the identification of species of Vorticella at the telotroch (free-swimming "larval" stage) level. New finding were made on the differentiation of the aboral ciliary wreath, the progress of binary fission, and the pellicular striae (PS) patterns in conjugating specimens (macro- and microconjugants). In addition, previously published descriptions by SEM of aboral kineties, pellicular pores, pits, and other surface features were confirmed.
