Phylogenetic Relationships of the Subclass Peniculia (Oligohymenophorea, Ciliophora) Inferred from Small Subunit rRNA Gene Sequences [PDF]
ABSTRACT. Peniculine ciliates have been recognized as a distinct higher taxon of ciliates for almost 50 years. However, phylogenetic relationships within the Subclass Peniculia are still unsettled. To contribute to our understanding of their phylogeny and provide evidence for the position of Urocentrum turbo, we sequenced its small subunit (SS) rRNA ...

Peniculids comprise a large order of ciliated protists in Class Oligohymenophorea having many unresolved evolutionary relationships. Herein, we report 27 new sequences, including 18S rRNA, ITS1-5.8S- ITS2 rRNA, 28S rRNA and the mitochondrial cox1 genes of eight peniculids.

Phylogeny of Neobursaridium reshapes the systematics of Paramecium (Oligohymenophorea, Ciliophora)
AbstractThe subclass Peniculia (Oligohymenophorea, Intramacronucleata) is one of the most known groups of the phylum Ciliophora, being composed by very notorious representatives, such as Paramecium and Frontonia. Nevertheless, phylogenetic relationships among genera within this subclass are still far from being resolved.

Nuclear events during conjugation in the poorly studied model ciliate Paramecium jenningsi
Ciliated protists are highly differentiated unicellular eukaryotes that possess special sexual processes (conjugation and autogamy) that rely on their unique nuclear dimorphism, i.e., the presence of both a germline micronucleus (MIC) and a somatic ...

Paramecium bursaria is a mixotrophic ciliate species, which is common in stagnant and slow-flowing, nutrient-rich waters. It is usually found living in symbiosis with zoochlorellae (green algae) of the genera Chlorella or Micractinium. We investigated P.

Phylogenomic analysis of integral diiron membrane histidine motif-containing enzymes in ciliates provides insights into their function and evolutionary relationships [PDF]
The Integral Membrane Histidine Motif-containing Enzymes (IMHME) are a class of binuclear non-heme iron proteins widely distributed among prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Molecular Polymorphism of Strains within Paramecium septaurelia (Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea)
RAPD-PCR fingerprinting and ARDRA riboprinting revealed polymorphism within P. septaurelia strains from Russia (4 strains from Lower Volga Basin), and one strain from USA, Florida. However, the first method showed the existence of four RAPD genotypes while the second revealed only two groups of strains with different band patterns.

Alpha-Tubulin and Small Subunit rRNA Phylogenies of Peritrichs Are Congruent and Do Not Support the Clustering of Mobilids and Sessilids (Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea) [PDF]
Peritrich ciliates have been traditionally subdivided into two orders, Sessilida and Mobilida within the subclass Peritrichia. However, all the existing small subunit (SSU) rRNA phylogenetic trees showed that the sessilids and mobilids did not branch ...
