, 1996 Our understanding of the biology of ciliate pheromones, and of the primary functions of the mating-type mechanism regulated by these molecules, has given rise to radical conflicts of opinion among different investigators, as regards interpretation of ...

Ciliates (Alveolata, Ciliophora) as bioindicators of environmental pressure: A karstic river case
Ecological Indicators, 2021 Ciliates are single celled eukaryotes recognized as key players in the microbial loop of aquatic ecosystems. The present study was carried out on the Krka River (Croatia), a karst freshwater ecosystem characterized by tufa barriers, biomineralization and

Roles of non-coding RNAs in ciliate genome architecture. [PDF]
, 2020 Ciliates are an interesting model system for investigating diverse functions of non-coding RNAs, especially in genome defence pathways. During sexual development, the ciliate somatic genome undergoes massive rearrangement and reduction through removal of

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Morphogenesis is an important process that widely occurs in almost all the organisms, including the ciliated protists. Ciliates are a large group of single-celled eukaryotes that can reproduce asexually (e.g., binary fission) and perform sexual process ...

The Necrobiome of Deadwood: The Life after Death
Ecologies, 2022 In recent decades, sustainable forest management has been increasingly recognized, promoting the diffusion of silvicultural practices aimed at considering all components of the forest system. Deadwood is an important component of the forest ecosystem. It

Galvanotaxis of ciliates: spatiotemporal dynamics of Coleps hirtus under electric fields
New Journal of Physics, 2022 Galvanotaxis describes the functional response of organisms to electric fields. In ciliates, the electric field influences the electrophysiology, and thus, the cilia beat dynamics. This leads to a change of the swimming direction toward the cathode.

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2013 Research using ciliates revealed early examples of epigenetic phenomena and continues to provide novel findings. These protozoans maintain separate germline and somatic nuclei that carry transcriptionally silent and active genomes, respectively. Examining the differences in chromatin within distinct nuclei of Tetrahymena identified histone variants and

Local ciliate communities associated with aquatic macrophytes [PDF]
, 2014 This study, based within the catchment area of the River Frome, an important chalk stream in the south of England, compared ciliated protozoan communities associated with three species of aquatic macrophyte common to lotic habitats: Ranunculus ...
