The results suggest that not only ciliate resting cysts, but also the excystation process is much more variable than what literature data indicate.

It is revealed that the life cycles of limnic ciliates are somewhat more diversified than theLife cycles of terrestrial groups of ciliate, as well as reproductive (tomites), temporary and resting cysts.

This study presents a light microscopy observation of the life cycle of the hypotrich ciliate, Paraurostyla weissei, and makes the first reference not to the course of the conjugation process, but to the fact that not only the formation of resting cysts, but also total conjugations can be an important adaptation strategy of the ciliates.
