Maupasella nova Cépède was discovered by Maupas (1877) in the alimentary canal of an Algerian earth-worm and subsequently described by Cépède (1910). As was well remarked by the latter author, this ciliate varies much in size and in form, long specimens measuring 80–95 by 25μ., and short ones only 50–75 by 27–47μ. The essential characters of Maupasella are: (1) the presence of an anterior fixing apparatus in the form of a conical process derived from thickened ectoplasm, (2) an elongated ribbon-like macronucleus, (3) irregularly disposed contractile vacuoles, and (4) dense ciliation. Moreover, the micronucleus (PI. VI, fig. 18 and m in all the other figures), which is often difficult to see, is spindle-shaped, with its axis parallel to that of the ciliate's body, strangulated in the middle and with the chromatin condensed into a disc lying in the strangulated portion of the spindle.

Fat Taste

There are numerous and diverse factors enabling the overconsumption of foods, with the sense of taste being one of these factors. There are four well established basic tastes: sweet, sour, salty, and bitter; all with perceptual independence, salience, and hedonic responses to encourage or discourage consumption. More recently, additional tastes have been added to the basic taste list including umami and fat, but they lack the perceptual independence and salience of the basics. There is also emerging evidence of taste responses to kokumi and carbohydrate. One interesting aspect is the link with the new and emerging tastes to macronutrients, with each macronutrient having two distinct perceptual qualities that, perhaps in combination, provide a holistic perception for each macronutrient: fat has fat taste and mouthfeel; protein has umami and kokumi; carbohydrate has sweet and carbohydrate tastes. These new tastes can be sensed in the oral cavity, but they have more influence post- than pre-ingestion. Umami, fat, kokumi, and carbohydrate tastes have been suggested as an independent category named alimentary. This narrative review will present and discuss evidence for macronutrient sensing throughout the alimentary canal and evidence of how each of the alimentary tastes may influence the consumption of foods.

Living Animal

Leigh-Sharpe (1918, Parasitology, XI. p. 24) states that the alimentary canal of the male has no visible contents and quotes Wilson (1915) to the effect that there is never an anus. He (Leigh-Sharpe) makes three suggestions: (i) that the male never feeds, (ii) that it feeds on the spermatozoa of the dogfish or (iii) on the eggs of the nematode which infests the latter. It is unlikely that the copepod is capable of completely digesting the chitinous case of the eggs in a canal which Wilson (loc. cit.) states to be sparingly furnished with glands; but if there is to be no debris all material taken in must be completely digested and absorbed. If the male never feeds the mouth would degenerate as rapidly as the anus; the mouth and oesophagus are both well developed. That spermatozoa form the food is a suggestion which cannot be disproved except by observation of the living animal.
