Thousands of cilia cover thesurface of Paramecium.
Paramecium, like other freshwater protists, constantly takes in water
by osmosis from the hypotonic environment. Bladderlike
contractile vacuoles accumulate excess water from radial canals
and periodically expel it through the plasma membrane.
Paramecium feeds mainly on bacteria. Rows of cilia along a funnel-shaped oral groove move food into the cell mouth, where the food is engulfed into food vacuoles by phagocytosis.
Food vacuoles combine with lysosomes. As the food is digested, the vacuoles follow a looping path through the cell.
The undigested contents of food vacuoles are released when the vacuoles fuse with a specialized region of the plasma membrane that functions as an anal pore.
Compatiblemates
Two cells of compatible mating strains align side by side and partially fuse.
Macronucleus
Meiosis of micronuclei produces four haploid micronuclei in each cell.
Three micronuclei in each cell disintegrate. The remaining micro-nucleus in each cell divides by mitosis.
The cells swap one micronucleus.
The cells separate.
Key Micronuclei fuse, forming a diploid micronucleus. Conjugation
Reproduction
Two rounds of cytokinesis partition one maccronucleus and one macronucleus into each of four daughter cells.
The original macronucleus disintegrates. Four micronuclei become macronuclei, while the other four remain micronuclei.
Three rounds of mitosis without cytokinesis produce eight micronuclei.

Cloned rRNA gene sequences for the six organisms were aligned and compared. The data table, called a comparison matrix, summarizes the comparison of 617 nucleotide positions from the gene sequences. Each value in the table is the percentage of the 617 nucleotide positions for which both organisms in the pair have the same composition. Any positions that were identical across the rRNA genes of all six organisms were omitted from this comparison matrix.
