Abstract excerpt
Ciliate protozoa are important members of microbial communities in which they play specific ecological roles. The determination of single species distribution is fundamental for food web analysis, but species recognition, which is mainly based on morphological characters, is often difficult between closely related species. The use of species-specific, purposely designed, fluorescently labeled probes for in situ...
