Taxonomy: Eukaryota | Alveolata | Ciliophora | Intramacronucleata | Oligohymenophorea | Hymenostomatida | Tetrahymenina | Tetrahymenidae | Tetrahymena | Tetrahymena thermophila Comment: Tetrahymena thermophila is a free-swimming unicellular protist. This freshwater organism inhabits streams, lakes, and ponds and, like other ciliates, Tetrahymena cells have complex structure. There is complexity in their genomic organization as well; each cell contains a diploic micronucleus (mic) and a somatic macronucleus (mac).
