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海胆中了名为纤虫单细胞生物。

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

他们食草动物捕食者，如纤虫以及以其他细菌为食捕食细菌。

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

Stentor coeruleus 是纤虫群一部分。

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

与所有纤虫一样，Stentor coeruleus 具有称为纤状结构。

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

然后纤虫中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.

我们甚至没有讨论纤虫遗传密码奇特运作方式。

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

这是吸管虫，它是一种纤虫，就像草履虫和 Stentor 一样。

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

他们了以这些食草动物为食捕食者，存在形式是纤虫（一种原生动物）和以其他细菌为食捕食性细菌。

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

Stentor 是唯一一种使用与你我相同系统将基因编码成蛋白质纤虫。

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， 高度组织化对纤虫——对肠道蠕虫——甚至对蚯蚓有什么好处。
