Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SOU-STE
STENTOR , a genus of heterotrichous ciliate
Infusoria
  (q.v.), so named by R.
Oken
 . It possesses a large moniliform
meganucleus
 , accompanied by numerous micronuclei, and has a
trumpet
  shape, when at rest, anchored by pseudopodial outgrowths from the narrow end. It is relatively large, and is much utilized to demonstrate
myonemes
 , and had been also the
object
  of interesting studies on regeneration, any piece, containing with a fragment of the
meganucleus
  at least one
micronucleus
 , regenerating the whole
animal
  (see REGENERATION). S. polymorphus often inhabits a gelatinous sheath and may be green with zoochlorella; it attains a length of ?b in. S. caeruleus and igneus are coloured blue and
scarlet
  respectively by pigment granules in the ectosarc: E. R. Lankester made a study of the pigment of the former (blue stentorin).
