Paramecium, a Model to Study Ciliary Beating and Ciliogenesis: Insights From Cutting-Edge Approaches
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Cilia are ubiquitous and highly conserved extensions that endow the cell with motility and sensory functions. They were present in the first eukaryotes and conserved throughout evolution (Carvalho-Santos et al., 2011).

PLoS Biology, 2021 Ciliates are unicellular eukaryotes with both a germline genome and a somatic genome in the same cytoplasm. The somatic macronucleus (MAC), responsible for gene expression, is not sexually transmitted but develops from a copy of the germline micronucleus

Infection with the Endonuclear Symbiotic Bacterium Holospora obtusa Reversibly Alters Surface Antigen Expression of the Host Paramecium caudatum [PDF]
MicroorganismsIt is known that the ciliate Paramecium cell surface including cilia is completely covered by high-molecular-mass GPI-anchored proteins named surface antigens (SAgs). However, their functions are not well understood.

Eco‐phenotypic feedback loops differ in multistressor environments [PDF]
Ecology, Volume 106, Issue 1, January 2025.Abstract Natural communities are exposed to multiple environmental stressors, which simultaneously impact the population and trait dynamics of the species embedded within these communities. Given that certain traits, such as body size, are known to rapidly respond to environmental change, and given that they can strongly influence the density of ...

A Reassessment of Phylogenetic Relationships in Class Oligohymenophorea (Protista, Ciliophora) Based on Updated Multigene Data [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2025.We report 97 new sequences, including SSU‐rRNA, ITS1‐5.8S‐ITS2 rRNA, LSU‐rRNA, mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase c subunit I, and mitochondrial small subunit ribosomal RNA genes of 30 oligohymenophorean populations. A comprehensive analysis of class Oligohymenophorea is conducted, encompassing 250 populations.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1987 This review is the first on the composition and metabolism of Paramecium lipids. This ciliated protozoa is a useful system for studying the structure and function of biomembranes since it can be grown under chemically defined culture conditions in large numbers; much is known about its genetics, membrane electrophysiology, and ultrastructure; and ...

The genome and comparative transcriptome of the euryhaline model ciliate Paramecium duboscqui reveal adaptations to environmental salinity [PDF]
BMC BiologyBackground As a potential model organism for studies of environmental and cell biology, Paramecium duboscqui is a special euryhaline species of Paramecium that can be found in fresh, brackish, or marine water in natural salinity ranges between 0‰ and 33‰.
