“…Tetrahymena thermophila, a representative of the subclass Hymenostomatia, is a well-known model organism because: (1) it can be axenically cultured in the laboratory, growing rapidly to high densities in a variety of media; (2) Jin et al, 2010;Munday et al, 1997). Thus, there is a pressing need to increase knowledge and understanding of the molecular and cellular biology of scuticociliates.…”

“…have been used to study the efficacy of chemotherapeutic drugs and treatments. As no effective control exists for M. avidus in fish, many potential drugs have been screened for their effects on these ciliates in culture [124,135,166,[172][173][174][175]. Formalin, hydrogen peroxide, and resveratrol were among 17 drugs found to be toxic to the ciliates.…”

How the ciliates of fish can be cultured and be used to study ciliate/fish interactions are reviewed. The culturing of ciliates is currently done in basal solutions based on either freshwater, seawater, or bodily fluids of vertebrates. These are supplemented either with bacteria, fish cells, or organic matter, which can be defined or more commonly undefined, with proteose peptone being a prominent example. Among pathogenic ciliates, the most difficult to culture has been Ichthyophthirius multifiliis. To contrast, Cryptocaryon irritans caused a similar disease and has been maintained successfully in co-cultures with fish cells. Pathogenic scuticociliates and tetrahymenas are more amenable to culture, and can be grown axenically. These cultures have been used to study pathogenic mechanisms and to screen drugs for their potential chemotherapeutic value. Ciliates may act directly on fish to cause disease, but may also influence fish health indirectly through their interactions with other types of fish pathogens, for example bacteria and fungi. For example, in culture Tetrahymena spp. have been shown to phagocytose pathogenic bacteria, Yersinia ruckerii, and microsporidia, Glugea hertwigi, where ciliates are not linked to disease, very different ciliate/fish interactions are possible. For some fish larvae, free-living ciliates are a source of nutrients. Large-scale cultures of both freshwater and marine ciliates have been achieved and could be a source of feed for fish larvae in aquaculture. Finally, ciliates have the potential to feed on fish carcasses and in doing so make nutrients available to the ecosystem. In the future cell cultures should be invaluable in studying these and other possible relationships between fish and ciliates.
