Abstract


1. A simple and effective method is described for discovering and isolating in pure culture all of the Ciliates in a sample of natural water which can be made to grow axenically in a particular medium, making use of a combination of antibiotics and a migration system.

2. Construction and operation details of the migration apparatus are given.

3. Using proteose peptone as the growth medium, only members of the genus Tetrahymena were obtained from natural waters.
