纖毛蟲
原生动物界的一门
纖毛蟲是纖毛蟲門（學名：Ciliophora）生物的通稱，是一類較複雜的原生動物，主要特點是以纖毛作為運動器，細胞核一般分化出大核（營養）、小核（生殖）、攝食胞器等，無性生殖為橫二分裂，有性生殖為接合生殖，生活在淡水或海水中，也有寄生的[1][2]。代表生物有草履蟲，小瓜蟲等。

纖毛蟲在分類上比較複雜，尚無統一的定論。按傳統的分類，原生動物作為動物界中的一個門，纖毛蟲為其中的「纖毛綱」（Ciliata），有時也將其列為原生動物門的纖毛亞門，或將原生動物看作動物界的一個亞界，纖毛蟲劃為一個門——纖毛門。[2]按照湯瑪斯·卡弗利爾-史密斯提出的分類系統則屬於囊泡藻界的「纖毛蟲門」（Ciliophora）。
細胞結構
編輯
細胞核
編輯與其他大部分真核生物不同，纖毛蟲有兩種大小不同的核：一種是二倍體的小核，負責基因重組；另一種是多倍體的大核，負責一般細胞調控。
細胞質
編輯食物通過胞吞作用，經過胞口胞咽進入食物泡，通過溶酶體分解使其顆粒變小，能通過膜擴散入細胞質中，殘留在食物泡中的物質在胞肛處以胞吐作用排出。 大多數纖毛蟲也具有一個或多個突出的收縮泡，收集和排出水以維持細胞內滲透壓，以及維持離子平衡。在某些屬中（如草履蟲），收縮泡有著明顯的星狀造型，每個星芒都是一個收集管。
繁殖
編輯纖毛蟲都可以進行無性繁殖和有性繁殖。無性繁殖二分裂方式進行，小核發生有絲分裂,大核伸長並分為兩半，然後該細胞一分為二。兩個新細胞各獲得一個大核和一個小核。 與此相反，有性繁殖涉及兩個不同交配型（類似性別，但也存在兩個以上的交配型）個體之間的結合和遺傳物質的交換，這往往發生在食物短缺的時候。
分類
編輯「纖毛蟲門」分為兩個亞門[3]：
