Abstract
Three species of rotifers have now been grown synxenically and, to a limited extent, axenically. Brachionus variabilis thrives in suitable media containing Chlorella pyrenoidosa and a bacterial species. Lecane inermis and Philodina acuticornis var. odiosa are bacteriophagous, the former doing best with two bacterial species (dixenically), the latter doing well with Escherichia coli alone (monoxenically).This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
