Illustration of vorticella protozoa attached to an algae substrate. Vorticella is a bell-shaped protozoan most commonly found in freshwater. They feed on bacteria and have cilia to help generate a water current to direct prey towards their mouths. Their stalks attach to substrates and can coil up and contract very quickly into a helix to move them. | |
