Research: Tetrahymena species, such as Tetrahymena thermophila, are widely used as model organisms in biological research. They are particularly valuable for studying various cellular processes, including cell structure and function, gene expression, protein synthesis, and cell division. Research using Tetrahymena has contributed to advancements in understanding fundamental biological processes that are relevant to human health and disease.
Education: Tetrahymena is also used in educational settings to teach basic concepts in biology, such as cell biology, genetics, and microbiology. Learning about Tetrahymena and other microorganisms helps students understand the diversity of life and its importance in ecosystems.
Water Quality: High concentrations of Tetrahymena in freshwater environments may indicate good water quality, as they thrive in clean water with abundant food sources. Conversely, their absence or low abundance may indicate poor water quality, which could potentially pose health risks due to contamination with other pathogens or pollutants.

Different labs use different software to read the sample. See this post for more details.
One lab may say you have none, another may say you have a lot! - This may be solely due to the software they are using to estimate.
We deem lab specific values using values from the KM method for each specific lab to be the most reliable.
