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.

发现食草动物的捕食者，如纤毛虫以及以其细菌为食的捕食细菌。

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

纤毛虫中的小核然后在每个细胞中分裂几次。

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

这吸管虫，它纤毛虫，就像草履虫和 Stentor 样。

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

Stentor coeruleus 纤毛虫群的部分。

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

与所有纤毛虫样，Stentor coeruleus 具有称为纤毛的毛发状结构。

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

我甚至没有讨论纤毛虫遗传密码的奇特运作方式。

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

发现了以这些食草动物为食的捕食者，存在形式纤毛虫（原生动物）和以其细菌为食的捕食性细菌。

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

Stentor 唯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。
