The Nature of the Contractile Vacuole [PDF]
Nature, 1925 FOR some years we have been investigating the cytoplasmic bodies in the protozoa. In NATURE of March 10, 1923, we were able to give the first account of the stages undergone by the Golgi bodies in the sporozoon Adelea. A full account of this work has been published in the Q.J.M.S., vol. 67, Part III., 1923. More recently M. Ph.

An organelle K⁺ channel is required for osmoregulation in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii [PDF]
, 2016 Fresh water protozoa and algae face hypotonic challenges in their living environment. Many of them employ a contractile vacuole system to uptake excessive water from the cytoplasm and expel it to the environment to achieve cellular homeostasis.
