Tetrahymena pyriformis
(Ehrenberg, 1830)
Record as endobiont in Ostracods:
This species was recorded in
Tonnacypris lutaria
(Koch, 1838)
found between carapace lamellae and inside limb from Melenci—Bašaid, Danube basin in
Serbia
(
Nikolić & Karan-Žnidaršič 2005
).
Remarks:
“
Tetrahymena pyriformis
” is a complex of at least 14 cryptic species, which can recognized using molecular approach (
Lynn 2008
). In such a situation, it is impossible to clarify what representative of family
Tetrahymenidae
was found in ostracode host.
