Opercularia (ciliate)
text:
Opercularia is a genus of freshwater, colonial, sessiline peritrich ciliates. As consumers of free bacteria in the water, several species of Opercularia serve as important indicator organisms in the study of wastewater treatment. Operculariids can be distinguished from other sessile peritrichs by their prominent, non-contractile stalk; peristome without lip; and elongate, horseshoe-shaped macronucleus.
