Structural organization of Trypanosoma cruzi

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2009
Since the initial description of Trypanosoma cruzi by Carlos Chagas in 1909, several research groups have used different microscopic techniques to obtain detailed information about the various developmental stages found in the life cycle of this ...

Periacineta mexicana n. sp. (Ciliophora, Suctoria, Discophryida), Epizoic on Mexican Backswimmers of the Genus Buenoa (Insecta, Hemiptera, Notonectidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
A new species of suctorian in the genus Periacineta, epibiotic on aquatic bugs (Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Nepomorpha), is described on the basis of morphological characteristics of the cell body, lorica, tentacular placement, and stalk, and its 18S rRNA ...

New records of suctorians (Ciliophora: Suctoria) as epibionts of aquatic true bugs (Hemiptera: Prosorrhyncha: Nepomorpha) from two regions: Mexico and Eastern Europe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Here, we provide new records of suctorians (Ciliophora: Suctoria), epibionts of aquatic true bugs (Hemiptera: Prosorrhyncha: Nepomorpha) collected in Ukraine, Belarus and Mexico.

Contribution of microscopy for understanding the mechanism of action against trypanosomatids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has proved to be a useful tool to study the ultrastructural alterations and the target organelles of new antitrypanosomatid drugs.

The proppin Bcas3 and its interactor KinkyA localize to the early phagophore and regulate autophagy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
To resolve the signaling mechanisms that mediate the starvation-induced processes of Dictyostelium sporulation and encystation, we performed insertional mutagenesis on cells harboring an mRFP-tagged spore gene.

Resolving the homology-function relationship through comparative genomics of membrane-trafficking machinery and parasite cell biology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
With advances in DNA sequencing technology, it is increasingly common and tractable to informatically look for genes of interest in the genomic databases of parasitic organisms and infer cellular states.

The Physiology of Contractile Vacuoles [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Biology, 1934
ABSTRACT On transfer from sea water to dilute sea water, the marine peritrich ciliate Vorticella marina swells more rapidly at higher temperatures. It is concluded that the permeability of the surface of V. marina to water is influenced by temperature, with a Q10 of very roughly 2·5–3·2.

Evolutionarily conserved sites in yeast tropomyosin function in cell polarity, transport and contractile ring formation

open access: yesBiology Open, 2015
Tropomyosin is a coiled-coil protein that binds and regulates actin filaments. The tropomyosin gene in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, cdc8, is required for formation of actin cables, contractile rings, and polar localization of actin patches.

Description of a New Telonemia Genus and Species With Novel Observations Providing Insights Into Its Hidden Diversity. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Eukaryot Microbiol
ABSTRACT Telonemia is a fascinating and understudied group of microbial eukaryotes known to have a vast diversity that is still uncharacterized. In fact, although their phylogenetic position is still actively debated, their diversity and biology are largely unexplored: to date, there are only seven described species in three genera, although there are ...
