Paramecium | Unicellular Organism, Ciliate Genus | Britannica Paramecium, genus of microscopic, single-celled, and free-living protozoans Most species can be cultivated easily in the laboratory, making them ideal model organisms, well suited for biological study
Paramecium: Definition, Structure, Characteristics and Diagram A Paramecium is a free-living, motile, single-cell (unicellular) organism belonging to the kingdom Protista that are naturally found in aquatic habitats They have a lifespan of a hundred, a thousand or even a million years
Paramecium Genetics, Genomics, and Evolution - PMC Paramecium species combine some of the lowest known mutation rates with some of the largest known effective populations, along with likely very high recombination rates, thereby harboring a population-genetic environment that promotes an exceptionally efficient capacity for selection
