Paramecium bursaria

Index Paramecium bursaria

Paramecium bursaria is a species of ciliates that has a mutualistic endosymbiotic relationship with green algae called Zoochlorella. [1]

16 relations: Algae, Alveolate, Ciliate, Contractile vacuole, Cytoplasm, Endosymbiont, Eukaryote, Jakob Friedrich Ehrhart, Macronucleus, Micronucleus, Oligohymenophorea, Parameciidae, Paramecium, Peniculid, SAR supergroup, Zoochlorella.

Algae

Algae (singular alga) is an informal term for a large, diverse group of photosynthetic organisms that are not necessarily closely related, and is thus polyphyletic.

Alveolate

The alveolates (meaning "with cavities") are a group of protists, considered a major clade and superphylum within Eukarya, and are also called Alveolata.

Ciliate

The ciliates are a group of protozoans characterized by the presence of hair-like organelles called cilia, which are identical in structure to eukaryotic flagella, but are in general shorter and present in much larger numbers, with a different undulating pattern than flagella.

Contractile vacuole

A contractile vacuole (CV) is a sub-cellular structure (organelle) involved in osmoregulation.

Cytoplasm

In cell biology, the cytoplasm is the material within a living cell, excluding the cell nucleus.

Endosymbiont

An endosymbiont or endobiont is any organism that lives within the body or cells of another organism in a symbiotic relationship with the host body or cell, often but not always to mutual benefit.

Eukaryote

Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells have a nucleus enclosed within membranes, unlike Prokaryotes (Bacteria and other Archaea).

Jakob Friedrich Ehrhart

Jakob Friedrich Ehrhart (4 November 1742, Holderbank, Aargau – 26 June 1795) was a German botanist, a pupil of Carl Linnaeus at Uppsala University, and later director of the Botanical Garden of Hannover, where he produced several major botanical works between 1780–1793.

Macronucleus

A macronucleus (formerly also meganucleus) is the larger type of nucleus in ciliates.

Micronucleus

Micronucleus is the name given to the small nucleus that forms whenever a chromosome or a fragment of a chromosome is not incorporated into one of the daughter nuclei during cell division.

Oligohymenophorea

The Oligohymenophorea are a large class of ciliates.

Parameciidae

Parameciidae are a family of ciliates in the order Peniculida; the body has differentiated anterior and posterior ends and is bounded by a hard but elastic pellicle.

Paramecium

Paramecium (also Paramoecium) is a genus of unicellular ciliates, commonly studied as a representative of the ciliate group.

Peniculid

The peniculids are an order of ciliate protozoa, including the well-known Paramecium and related genera, such as Frontonia, Stokesia, Urocentrum and Lembadion.

SAR supergroup

Sar or Harosa (informally the SAR supergroup) is a clade that includes stramenopiles (heterokonts), alveolates, and Rhizaria.
