Overview

Spirostomum is a member of the protist kingdom. It is an animal-like protist, or protozoan which feeds on bacteria. It is found in pond water. Spirostomum is a Ciliate, which use cilia to move through water. Spirostomum is an unusual protozoan. It is large for a protist. It can grow up to 0.17 in (3 mm) which is large enough to be seen with the naked eye. Though a unicellular organism, it has multiple nuclei. Also, Spirostomum can contract its body to 1/4 of its length in 6 to 8 milliseconds, which is the fastest contraction known in any living cell.
