P335 Podophyra (discophyra) collini
An exemplary carnivorous suctorian for demonstrating the characteristic tentacular feeding mechanisms.The effectiveness of the tentacles for capturing and ingesting the cell contents of food prey can be observed by feeding on Colpidium spp.The organism is sedentary and attached to the substrate by a non-contractile stalk, this immotility makes it a good subject for monitoring contractile vacuolar activity.
