Vorticella - Wikipedia
Vorticella is a genus of bell-shaped ciliates that have stalks to attach themselves to substrates. The stalks have contractile myonemes, allowing them to pull the cell body against substrates. [1] . The formation of the stalk happens after the free-swimming stage. [2] Etymology.
