Abstract
ABSTRACT. Miamiensis avidus Ma/2 is a marine polymorphic scuticociliate. Eight strains of philasterine scuticociliates, currently in culture at the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), were shown to produce a soluble factor that induces macrostomy in Ma/ 2: Miamlensis avidus (Ma and Ma/2), Paranophrys sp. (1–1), Parauronema acutum (110–3). Anophtyoides soldoi (116–1), Anophryoides sp. (33–8). Merunophrys sp. (113–8), and Paranophrys sp. (34–7). Of the strains tested, Paranophrys strain 1–1 showed the highest induction of transformation, although all eight strains showed statistically significant induction.
