Enrichment of Ciliates and Flagellates
Ciliates and flagellates are the group of protozoans, found abundant in agricultural and forest soil, as well as in freshwater, coastal, and marine...
-
Abundance Calculation of Ciliates from Soil
As ciliates cannot directly be extracted from the soil, abundance of ciliates requires culturing them followed by enumeration by variety of methods....
