In searching about the paramecium, I found an article about Paramecium aurelia written by Earl D. Hanson. The journal article is extremely technical; I comprehended very little of the information. I did come to understand that the Paramecium aurelia is capable of regenerating a new gullet. There are three different instances which were observed when a new gullet was formed: a good gullet in operation senses the need to reproduce another gullet; restoration of an abnormal gullet; when the a gullet is destroyed, synthesis of a new gullet is undertaken.
Here is the official citation:
