ABSTRACT
The population of the rumen ciliates Ophryoscolex caudatus developed from three typical individuals was maintained in vitro. During the long term cultivation we observed the appearance of individuals resembling Ophryoscolex purkynjei and Ophryoscoex spinous while the numbers of particular forms in the culture depended on the growth conditions. Neither amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis (ARDRA) nor comparison of nucleotide sequences in the 18S rDNA showed genetic diversity of the morphologically different ciliates.
