TLDR
No real evidence was found to suggest that any particular component of industrial effluents had, by itself, any harmful effects upon the protozoan populations of activated-sludge plants.

Ciliate–adenovirus interactions in experimental co-cultures of Euplotes octocarinatus and in wastewater environment

TL;DR: It is concluded that HAdV is taken up by ciliates, however more studies are necessary in order to better investigate the mechanisms, the infectivity of internalized virus and the protective effects of internalization against disinfection.

An investigation of the cryptobiotic community from sandstone cliffs in southeast ohio

TL;DR: All major groups of taxa exhibited the greatest abundance and diversity during March and decreased throughout April and May, and Mesic cliffs tended to have a greater diversity ofTaxa than xeric ones, and open sites more than shaded sites.

An integrated approach to analyse biofilms of a full scale wastewater treatment plant

TL;DR: Relationship between ciliate species and physical-chemical profile of the system by cluster analysis indicated that the species Acineria uncinata, Amphileptus punctatus, Cinetochilum margaritaceum and Holosticha mancoidea were associated with the best RBC performance.

22 – Protozoa as indicators of wastewater treatment efficiency

TL;DR: The majority of ciliates present in the biological wastewater treatment facilities feed upon the dispersed populations of bacteria, and the ciliated protists improve the quality of the effluent because of their involvement in the regulation of the bacterial biomass by removal of the major part of the bacteria dispersed in the mixed liquor.

Protozoa in biological sewage-treatment processes—II. Protozoa as indicators in the activated-sludge process

- 01 Mar 1970 - 
TL;DR: Evidence was found which suggested that the species structure of the protozoa population in activated sludge was in some way associated with the quality of effluent delivered, and a method was devised which enables the assessment of the average effluent quality delivered from a knowledge of the species present in the sludge.
