El rotífero es un animal aerobio, heterótrofo y multicelular. Su nombre procede del hecho de que tienen dos juegos de pestañas giratorias sobre la cabeza que utilizan para su alimento y captura de alimentos. Los rotíferos son muy eficaces al consumir bacterias dispersas y floculadas, así como pequeñas partículas de materia orgánica. Su presencia en un efluente indica un proceso aerobio de purificación biológica muy eficiente. 1, record 1, Spanish, - rot%C3%ADfero
