But the team did see single-celled organisms called ciliates in the sick urchins.

但该调查小组确实在患病的海胆中发现了名为纤毛虫的单细胞生物。

They also found predators on the herbivores, in the form of ciliates and predator bacteria, which feed on other bacteria.

他们还发现草动物的，如纤毛虫以及以其他细菌为的细菌。

Stentor coeruleus is a part of a group called the ciliates.

Stentor coeruleus 是纤毛虫群的部分。

As is true of all ciliates, Stentor coeruleus have hair-like structures called cilia.

与所有纤毛虫，Stentor coeruleus 有称为纤毛的毛发状结构。

Micronuclei in the ciliates then divide several times in each cell.

然后纤毛虫中的微核在每个细胞中分裂几次。

And we haven't even talked about the peculiar way that cilliates genetic code works.

我们甚至还没有讨论纤毛虫遗传密码的奇特运作方式。

This is a Suctorian, it is a ciliate just like Paramecium and Stentor.

这是吸管虫，它是种纤毛虫，就像草履虫和 Stentor 。

They also found predators on the herbivores, in the form of ciliates (a type of protozoan) and predator bacteria, which feed on other bacteria.

他们还发现了以这些草动物为的，存在形式是纤毛虫（种原生动物）和以其他细菌为的性细菌。

And how Stentor is the only Ciliate that uses the same system for encoding genes into proteins that you and I do.

Stentor 是唯种使用与你我相同的系统将基因编码成蛋白质的纤毛虫。

And it may be asked what advantage, as far as we can see, would it be to an infusorian animalcule—to an intestinal worm—or even to an earth-worm, to be highly organised.

可能有人会问， 就我们所知， 高度组织化对纤毛虫——对肠道蠕虫——甚至对蚯蚓有什么好处。
