A heliozoon was isolated from a mass culture tank for rotifers when the production of the rotifer became unstable. The green algae Chlamydomonas sp. was a more suitable food for the propagation of the heliozoon compared to Tetraselmis tetrathele, Nannochloropsis oculataand baker's yeast. When the heliozoon was placed with the rotifer, the rotifer gradually ceased to move, sank to the bottom, and finally died. 24 hours' LC50 for the rotifer was about 104 individ. /ml. The isolated heliozoon is free-living and has around-shape, 10-15ƒÊmƒÓ cell body. It has oneeccen tric nucleus, but in the center of the cell body there is a centroplast which radiatesaxonemal microtub ules. TEM observationsrevealed that each axoneme is composed of six hexagonally arranged microtub ules. Further, no coating structure wasobserved on the cell surface. From these characteristics, we identified the species as Oxnerella maritima. This is the first record ofa heliozoon killing the rotifer
