Flow physics of nutrient transport drives functional design of ciliates by Jingyi Liu, John H. Costello, Eva Kanso

“…We demonstrate that ciliates optimize their feeding efficiency by designating a specific portion of the cell surface as a ‘mouth,’ and optimal cilia coverage varies by life strategy: for sessile ciliates, prey encounter is most efficient when cilia are arranged in bands around oral structures while ciliates that swim display diverse ciliary arrangements that meet the cell’s nutritional needs. …”
