Abstract
V. campanula, V. microstoma, V. nebulifera, and V. picta were propagated and studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The identification of Vorticella spp. was possible at the telotroch (free-swimming larval stage) level. New findings were made on the differentiation of the aboral ciliary wreath, the progress of binary fission, and the pellicular striae (PS) patterns in conjugating specimens (macro- and microconjugants). Previously published descriptions by SEM of aboral kineties, pellicular pores, pits and other surface features were confirmed.
