Paramecium bursaria is a ciliate that engulfs unicellular green algae into vacuoles within its cell.
Paramecium a one-celled organism which is covered with many cilia

Paramecium
a genus of freshwater protozoan, having an oval body covered with cilia and a ventral ciliated groove for feeding.
paramylum
A starch-like substance that occurs as a food reserve in flagellate Protozoans and algae, such as Euglena.
Paramecium bursaria, a species of ciliate, has a mutualistic symbiotic relationship with green alga called Zoochlorella. The algae live inside the cell, in the cytoplasm.

Paramecium aurelia has a population nearly twice as large when it does not have to share its food source with a competing species.
Paramecium is by no means the only ciliate, merely one of the most common ones students will encounter during a laboratory session. Other ciliates include: ...
5.3 Paramecium multimicronucleatum
Sequences show the motility of this ciliated protozoan and the repetitious activity of both anterior and posterior contractile vacuoles.

The classic example of a ciliate protist is a Paramecium. They are the very complex protists that have little hairs all over their body. The hairs flap and push the organism through the water.

Cilia are hair-like structures that can beat in synchrony causing the movement of unicellular paramecium. Cilia are also found in specialize linings in eukaryotes.
Many kinds of single-celled organisms such as the Paramecium in the photograph below move by cilia or flagella. The cilia can be seen covering the cell in the photograph.
Includes but is not limited to: slime molds, water molds, all protozoans (ciliates(parameciums), zoomastigina, rhizopoda(amoebas), etc.) and plant like protists (clorophyta, golden algae, euglena, etc. ) ...
Ciliates: This group of protists is most like animals in their behaviour and complexity. The Paramecium is the representative of the Ciliates.
The so-called eukaryotes are represented by animals, plants, and everything you can see with the naked eye that is living, including certain microscopic things, such as the familiar paramecium. And then there were the bacteria.
