Tetrahymena thermophila is a species of Ciliophora in the family Tetrahymenidae.[1] It is a free living protozoon and occurs in fresh water.[2]
There is little information on the ecology and natural history of this species,[3] but it is the most widely known and widely studied species in the genus Tetrahymena.[4]: 12 The species has been used as a model organism for molecular and cellular biology.[5] It has also helped in the discovery of new genes as well as helping to understand the mechanisms of function of certain genes.[6] Studies on this species have contributed to major discoveries in biology.[5]
For example, the MAT locus found in this species has provided a foundation for the evolution of mating systems.[7]: 6–7
The species was at first considered to be a form of Tetrahymena pyriformis.[8]: 258 T. malaccensis is the closest relative toT. thermophila.[4]: 284
