Topic: Myzocytosis


  
  Omnipelagos.com ~ article "Myzocytosis"
Myzocytosis is a method of feeding found in some heterotrophic organisms.
It is also called "cellular vampirism" as the predatory cell pierces the cell wall and/or cell membrane of the prey cell with a feeding tube, sucks out the cellular content and digests it.
A classic example of myzocytosis is the feeding method of the infamous predatory ciliate, Didinium, where it is often depicted devouring a hapless Paramecium.

 Algae - EvoWiki
Some groups, such as the Green and Red Algae, are presumed to have obtained their chloroplasts, when the ancestral protozoa phagocytosed cyanobacteria, but did not actually digest their prey.
Others, such as Euglena and the Chlorarachniophytes, are presumed to have obtained their chloroplasts through phagocytosis or myzocytosis (where the cell contents of the prey are sucked out) of green or red algae.
A similar situation to what the ancestral predatory protists went through occured when Paramecium have been observed injesting the green alga Chlorella, whereupon the Paramecium soon began minimizing its feeding habits.

 CJO - Abstract - A Crypthecodinium cohnii-like dinoflagellate feeding myzocytotically on the unicellular red ...
A Crypthecodinium cohnii-like dinoflagellate was found to prey on the unicellular red alga Porphyridium sp.
The cytoplasm of the prey is ingested by myzocytosis within 10–30 s, and the contents of up to 20 Porphyridium cells can be taken up by one dinoflagellate.
The fine structure of the digestion vacuoles and of the faecal bodies is described.

 Mixotrophic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
These organisms may use light as an energy source, or may take up organic or inorganic compounds.
They may take up simple compounds osmotically (by osmotrophy) or by engulfing particles (by phagocytosis or myzocytosis).

 Myzocytosis - EvoWiki
Myzocytosis, aka "cellular vampirism," is when a heterotrophic unicellular organism pierces the cell wall and/or cell membrane of its prey with a pseudopod modified into a sheath-like feeding tube, and proceeds to suck out the cellular contents of its prey, and into a feeding vacuole inside of the predator's cytoplasm.
A classic example of myzocytosis is when the predatory ciliate, Didinium, attacks Paramecium.

This Amphidinium feeds by myzocytosis, a process whereby it punctures the prey cell and 'sucks out' the cytoplasm and contents.
Here is a SEM photo of Amphidinium which has just snacked on one of its favorite prey, the cryptophyte Pyrenomonas:
Behind the Amphinium is another Pyrenomonas cell which has not been attacked; it is much larger and fatter and has the peculiar cryptophyte honycomb surface.
