- Abstract
The article discusses a study conducted to determine if Tetrahymena pyriformis feeds on inert particles in the absence of organic solutes. It is noted that axenic cultures of Tetrahymena pyriformis were obtained from Carolina Biological Supply Co. and maintained in growth medium day before testing. It is noted that Tetrahymena cells were centriguged and resuspended in Prescott's medium for the study.
