THE ACTIVITY OF THE CONTRACTILE VACUOLE IN A SUCTORIAN (TOKOPHRYA INFUSIONUM)
The Biological Bulletin, 1951 1. Evidence is presented for the existence of a close relation between the behavior of the contractile vacuole and several phases of the functional activity of Tokophrya infusionum.2. When the process of feeding starts the pulsation rate of the contractile vacuole rises suddenly, remains high during feeding and falls gradually on cessation of the ...

Superoxide dismutase C affects Dictyostelium contractile vacuole biogenesis and function [PDF]
Development, Growth and Differentiation, 2020 Dictyostelium cells cope with hypo‐osmotic stress with a contractile vacuole (CV) system, which consists of one or two vacuoles that cyclically charge and discharge.

Contractile Vacuole Complex—Its Expanding Protein Inventory [PDF]
International Review of Cell and Molecular Biology, 2013 The contractile vacuole complex (CVC) of some protists serves for the osmotic equilibration of water and ions, notably Ca(2+), by chemiosmotic exploitation of a H(+) gradient generated by the organelle-resident V-type H(+)-ATPase. Ca(2+) is mostly extruded, but there is also some reflux into the cytosol via Ca(2+)-release channels.

THE CONTRACTILE VACUOLE IN AMOEBA PROTEUS (LEIDY)
The Biological Bulletin, 1938 1. The contractile vacuole in Amoeba proteus contains at the surface a well differentiated membrane about 0.5µ thick. Adjoining this membrane on the outside there is usually a layer of substance in which numerous beta granules (Metcalf's "excretory granules") are imbedded. This layer is more viscous and heavier than the adjoining cytoplasm.

THE CONTRACTILE VACUOLE INPARAMECIUM TRICHIUM
The Biological Bulletin, 1928 1. There is an anterior and a posterior contractile vacuolar apparatus in Paramecium trichium.2. Each is permanent and consists of feeding vesicles, contractile vacuole, excretory tube and pore.3. The contractile vacuoles of Paramecium trichium are vesicle-fed, differing here from those of other well known species in the same genus which are canal-fed ...

The contractile vacuole as a key regulator of cellular water flow in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. [PDF]
Eukaryot Cell, 2014 Most freshwater flagellates use contractile vacuoles (CVs) to expel excess water. We have used Chlamydomonas reinhardtii as a green model system to investigate CV function during adaptation to osmotic changes in culture medium.
