Portrait of Platycola. This peritrich ciliate resides in a simple non-valved lorica with a curved neck. The lorica adheres to the substrate along its length. Most often two individuals per lorica. From freshwater pond with abundant filamentous algae near Boise, Idaho. Oblique illumination.

Platycola, a loricate peritrich. This one forms a flattened lorica with apical apertures through which the cells extend while feeding. The cell cannot be seen clearly. The lorica appears transparent when first formed but gets darker with age. From Lake Donghu, China. Phase contrast micrograph.

Thuricola (thurr-ick-owe-la) is a peritrich ciliate which lives within a lorica. Contractile and this cell has withdrawn into the lorica. A flap has closed over the contractile cell and this features distinguishes this genus. Differential interference contrast.
