Paramecium bursaria protozoa,light micrograph. These ciliate protozoa inhabit freshwater,where they feed mainly on bacteria. They move by beating their cilia,hair-like extensions that cover their bodies. The small green bodies inside the protozoan are individual Zoochlorella sp. algae,which have a symbiotic relationship with the protozoan. They photosynthesise inside the Paramecium,providing it with sugars and oxygen,while deriving protection from their host | |
