Is this Vasicola ciliata out of the loriga?

#1 Post by NachoBen » Tue Aug 29, 2023 9:59 pm

If so, it is my first time with this critter:



From a freshwater sample from an ephemeral pond. You can read that this ciliate is conspicuous because of the colored food vacuoles filled with Rhodobacteria. But my critter has few purple vacuoles.

Any help welcome! Thank you everybody.
