Movement and feeding

edit

Commensalism and pathogenicity

Genus and species

edit

Tetrahymena thermophila is redirected to Tetrahymena. I don't know why. Normally, there is a page for the genus and another for the species. Genus Tetrahymena has several species. Almost the whole information of the page is about T, thermophila, so the page should be named 'Tetrahymena thermophila' and a new page on the genus should be made.--Miguelferig (talk) 17:53, 14 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

A nice video

edit

Here's a really nice video taken using new lattice light sheet technology: http://vimeo.com/109404940 Maybe it could go under external links?Notrium (talk) 22:25, 23 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

No species section

edit

Why doesn’t this article have a species section?CycoMa (talk) 04:35, 13 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

The redirects aren’t needed

edit

The species of these redirects are notable enough for their own articles. So it makes so sense for them to have redirects.CycoMa (talk) 15:38, 13 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Making articles and moving stuff

edit

I am gonna make articles for all the species for this. I will also move a bunch of facts in this article to their own species article. Because the species in this article pass the test of notability.CycoMa (talk) 16:40, 13 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Too much focus on a single species

edit

This article is just straight up bizarre. It only focuses on species.CycoMa (talk) 16:08, 14 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Gonna move around info

edit

I’m gonna move stuff around to other articles. There is a decent amount of info on this genus as well as each species. It’s just gonna take me some time to do this tho.CycoMa (talk) 21:04, 16 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Etymology

edit

I'm used to 'tetra-' meaning four. What is there four of, or else what are the parts of the name tetrahymena, that relate to the set of cells that belong in the collection? 2404:4404:2785:C500:9678:BC5F:4515:6741 (talk) 07:37, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
