Diverse modes of reproduction in the marine free-living ciliate
Background Most free-living ciliates reproduce by equal fission or budding during vegetative growth. In certain ciliates, reproduction occurs inside the cyst wall, viz.

Small RNA-mediated genome rearrangement pathways in ciliates.
Most eukaryotes employ a combination of transcriptional and post-transcriptional silencing mechanisms to suppress transposons, yet ciliates employ a more extreme approach.

Biological evaluation of honey
The article shows the results of the use of ciliates Tetrahymena pyriformis, for biological evaluation of honey. It is known that ciliates Tetrahymena pyriformis, similar in general characteristics of metabolism with higher animals, can serve as ...

Experimental Evolution in Tetrahymena
Experimental evolution has provided novel insight into a wide array of biological processes. Species in the genus Tetrahymena are proving to be a highly useful system for studying a range of questions using experimental evolution.

Epigenetic inheritance in ciliates [PDF]
2009 marks not only the 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth but also publication of the first scientific evolutionary theory, Lamarck's Philosophie Zoologique. While Lamarck embraced the notion of the inheritance of acquired characters, he did not invent it (Burkhardt, 1984).

Septin 9 polybasic domains couple phosphoinositide‐rich membrane binding to centrosome positioning, Golgi organization, and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity. Their loss disrupts this axis, causing centrosome mispositioning, Golgi fragmentation, reduced microtubule acetylation, and polarity inversion via upregulation of the ...

Accumulation of Tetrahymena pyriformis on Interfaces
The behavior of ciliates has been studied for many years through environmental biology and the ethology of microorganisms, and recent hydrodynamic studies of microswimmers have greatly advanced our understanding of the behavioral dynamics at the single ...
