After conjugation, each ciliate partner has acquired new genetic material, and divides to give rise to progeny with a new combination of genes.

Samples are identified by date and location within the sewage-treatment plant and a profile of ciliate diversity is built using the system. The key is essentially pictorial and multi-entry, meaning that users can skip questions that they cannot answer with confidence.
