“…Changes in filiform macronucleus during encystment was also reported for B. japonicum Suzuki 1954(Suzuki 1954) and B. stoltei (Repak 1968). Distinctly, in B. lateritium Kahl, 1932(Larsen 1983) and B. seculum Isquith, 1965(Isquith et al 1965, the compact form of macronucleus in vegetative cells is maintained in the mature cysts. Recently, blepharismin was found in macronuclear inclusions in B. americanum, with unknown chemical identity and function (Wancura et al 2017).…”

The morphology of Blepharisma sinuosum resting cysts and the dynamics of pigmentation at different stages of encystment are presented for the first time. Cyst morphometrics are similar to other Blepharisma species, with three-wall layers, bacteria surrounding the ectocyst, a conical plug, and wrinkly surface toward the plug in mature stages. The vegetative moniliform macronucleus changes to a horseshoe shape, and at early stages, the cystic cytoplasm is homogeneously pigmented, comprising a contractile vacuole; later, pigments polarize toward the plug, decorate the cortical layer, and become brownish. This work reinforces the potential role of pigment dynamics on cyst biology.

A taxonomic and nomenclatural revision of Sladecek's et al. (1981) and Wegl's (1983) lists of ciliates (Protozoa : Ciliophora) as indicators of water quality has been performed . The original reference, important synonyms, and modern taxonomic literature are provided for each of the 378 taxa recognized . The results of this revision are summarized in a table which shows the correct (modern) name, author, and date of publication of each species as well as its saprobity, its saprobic valency, its indicative weight, and its saprobic index .
