Urocentrum, a genus of ciliated protozoa, primarily feeds on bacteria, organic debris, and small particles found in their aquatic environments. They use their cilia to create water currents that help capture and transport food particles to their oral groove for ingestion. This feeding mechanism allows them to play a role in the microbial loop and nutrient cycling in their ecosystems.
