Paramecium can only mate with individual of opposite mating type.

Paramecium Unicellular organisms live without other cells to help them.

So is the paramecium chasing the bacterium, hoping for its own dinner.

Reproduction in Paramecium has been researched for many years.

His life's study was of the protozoan group Paramecium.

Got my eye on a cute paramecium, You know, the one with the wavy hair."

If only the bacterium could tell us: "Did you see that truck of a paramecium coming at me?

It would be like asking a paramecium why it absorbs food.

The truth is, we are mere animals, organisms even, slightly more complex than your basic paramecium.

The Paramecium spirals through the water, as it progresses.

Examples include bacteria, amoeba and protozoa such as the paramecium.

Paramecium is one of the best-known protists, often taught in school biology courses.

Without the rejuvenating effects of conjugation a paramecium ages and dies.

A paramecium, on encountering an obstacle, will back off a certain distance, turn through an angle of 30 degrees, and then move forward again.

Epulopiscium can reach up to four times the length of the average Paramecium.

They are so small, their entire bodies are smaller than a single-celled Paramecium.

Species of Paramecium range in size from 50 to 330 micrometres in length.

It has been calculated that a Paramecium expends more than half of its energy in propelling itself through the water.

It's like discovering some paramecium tangent of rock evolution that was never allowed to fully develop.

On the small view-screen a paramecium, its cilia wriggling, came and went.

When a strong concentration of sodium chloride is placed near to paramecium they turn and go off in the opposite direction.

The paramecium is a single-cell organism, so has nothing remotely resembling a brain.

Their diet consists largely of Paramecium, although they will also attack and consume other ciliates.

Some species of Paramecium form mutualistic relationships with other organisms.

In some genera, such as Paramecium, these have a distinctive star shape, with each point being a collecting tube.

Paramecium caudatum is 120-330 micrometres long (usually 200-300 micrometres).

One study seems to show that Paramecium caudatum can communicate with neighbors using a non-molecular method of signaling (probably photons).

Paramecium caudatum cell division is reduced by copper plates placed on Petri dish covers containing infusoria and nutrient media.

Paramecium caudatum is a species of unicellular organisms belonging to the genus Paramecium of the phylum Ciliophora.

He found that in experiments with Didinium nasutum (predator) and Paramecium caudatum (prey), D. nausatum overexploited P. caudatum leading first to its extinction and subsequently to its own.

For nearly 30 years Ehrenberg examined samples of water, soil, sediment, blowing dust and rock and described thousands of new species, among them well-known flagellates such as Euglena, ciliates such as Paramecium aurelia and Paramecium caudatum, and many fossils, in nearly 400 scientific publications.
