Antiamoebic Properties of Ceftriaxone and Zinc-Oxide–Cyclodextrin-Conjugated Ceftriaxone
Antibiotics, 2022 Acanthamoeba castellanii is a ubiquitous free-living amoeba capable of instigating keratitis and granulomatous amoebic encephalitis in humans. Treatment remains limited and inconsistent.

Induced encystment improves resistance to preservation and storage of Acanthamoeba castellanii
, 2008 Several conditions that allow the preservation, storage and rapid, efficient recovery of viable Acanthamoeba castellanii organisms were investigated. The viability of trophozoites (as determined by time to confluence) significantly declined over a period

Effects of Mannose on Pathogenesis of Acanthamoeba castellanii
The Korean Journal of Parasitology, 2012 Acanthamoeba spp. are single-celled protozoan organisms that are widely distributed in the environment. In this study, to understand functional roles of a mannose-binding protein (MBP), Acanthamoeba castellanii was treated with methyl-alpha-D-mannopyranoside (mannose), and adhesion and cytotoxicity of the amoeba were analyzed.

Acanthamoeba induces cell-cycle arrest in host cells
, 2004 Acanthamoeba can cause fatal granulomatous amoebic encephalitis (GAE) and eye keratitis. However, the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of these emerging diseases remain unclear.

Ac-HSP20 Is Associated With the Infectivity and Encystation of Acanthamoeba castellanii
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Acanthamoeba castellanii is a pathogenic and opportunistic free-living amoeba that causes Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) and granulomatous amebic encephalitis (GAE) in immunocompromised individuals.

Acanthamoeba castellanii, a Predator of Cyanobacteria [PDF]
Microbiology, 1981 Acanthamoeba castellanii was isolated from soil and water as a predator of cyanobacteria. Several strains of A. castellanii consumed cyanobacteria but there were differences in predatory activity between strains. The unicellular Gloeocapsa alpicola and filamentous Anabaena flos-aquae were particularly susceptible to predation.

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation
FEBS Letters, Volume 600, Issue 10, Page 1491-1518, May 2026.Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)
