Systematic studies on ciliates (Alveolata, Ciliophora) in China: Progress and achievements based on molecular information

TL;DR: In this article, a series of integrative investigations on ciliates systematics were carried out, and genomic DNA has been extracted from about 1700 ciliate strains, and phylogenetic analyses have been performed for two-thirds of orders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reconsideration of the phylogenetic positions of five peritrich genera, Vorticella, Pseudovorticella, Zoothamnopsis, Zoothamnium, and Epicarchesium (Ciliophora, Peritrichia, Sessilida), based on small subunit rRNA gene sequences.

TL;DR: The molecular work demonstrates the genus Zoothamnium to be paraphyletic in relation to morphological studies, and suggests that Astylozoon, Opisthonecta, and Vorticella microstoma possibly share a SSU rRNA secondary structure in the helix E10‐1 region.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phylogenetic position of the marine ciliate, Cardiostomatella vermiforme (Kahl, 1928) Corliss, 1960 inferred from the complete SSrRNA gene sequence, with establishment of a new order Loxocephalida n. ord. (Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea).

TL;DR: The present work indicates that Cardiostomatella vermiforme, together with a closely related species, Dexiotrichides pangi, always form a separate assemblage as a sister group to the scuticociliates sensu stricto, and suggests that this group represents a new order, Loxocephalida n.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ontogeny and molecular phylogeny of a new marine ciliate genus, Heterokeronopsis g. n. (Protozoa, Ciliophora, Hypotricha), with description of a new species

TL;DR: Phylogenetic analyses based on SSU rRNA gene sequence data reveal that Heterokeronopsis pulchra is a member of the family Pseudokeronopsidae and is most closely related to Nothoholosticha fasciola.
