Diverse modes of reproduction in the marine free-living ciliate Glauconema trihymene

open access: yesBMC Microbiology, 2010
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.

open access: yes, 2023
Most eukaryotes employ a combination of transcriptional and post-transcriptional silencing mechanisms to suppress transposons, yet ciliates employ a more extreme approach.

Biocommunication of Ciliates

open access: yes, 2016
This is the first coherent description of all levels of communication of ciliates. Ciliates are highly sensitive organisms that actively compete for environmental resources.

Involvement of Crawling and Attached Ciliates in the Aggregation of Particles in Wastewater Treatment Plants

open access: yes, 2008
The biological community in activated sludge wastewater plants is organized within this ecosystem as bioaggregates or flocs, in which the biotic component is embedded in a complex matrix comprised of extracellular polymeric substances mainly of microbial

Biological evaluation of honey

open access: yesRUDN Journal of Agronomy and Animal Industries, 2013
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 ...

Phenotypic Polymorphism in Two Endosymbiotic Bacteria of the Ciliate Paramecium: Pseudolyticum multiflagellatum and “Ca. Megaira venefica”

open access: yesDiversity, 2023
Here, we report a comprehensive description of the stable associations between two Paramecium species (P. nephridiatum and P. caudatum) and their cytoplasmic bacterial endosymbiont Pseudolyticum multiflagellatum.

Experimental Evolution in Tetrahymena

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2022
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]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Microbiology, 2009
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 PB domains coordinate centrosome positioning and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
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

open access: yesMicromachines, 2021
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 ...
