| Abstract |
Some types of ciliates accumulate on solid/fluid interfaces. This behavior is advantageous to
survival in nature due to the presence of sufficient nutrition and stable environments. Recently,
the accumulating mechanisms of Tetrahymena pyriformis at the interface were investigated. The
synergy of the ellipsoidal shape of the cell body and the mechanosensing feature of the cilia allow for cells to slide on interfaces, and the sliding behavior leads to cell accumulation on the
interfaces. Here, to examine the generality of the sliding behavior of ciliates, we characterized
the behavior of Paramecium caudatum, which is a commonly studied ciliate. Our experimental and numerical results confirmed that P. caudatum also slid on the solid/fluid interface by using the same mechanism as T. pyriformis. In addition, we evaluated the effects of cellular ellipticity on
their behaviors near the wall with a phase diagram produced via numerical simulation.
