Evolutionary divergence and functional insights into the heteromeric cis‐prenyltransferase of Paramecium tetraurelia [PDF]
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Heteromeric cis‐prenyltransferases (CPT) are indispensable for dolichol synthesis and protein N‐glycosylation in most eukaryotes. The catalytic subunits are strongly conserved throughout evolution, in contrast to the evolutionarily variable accessory subunits. The POC1 protein from Paramecium tetraurelia is the smallest identified CPT‐accessory subunit

Multivariate signals of population collapse in a high-throughput ecological experiment. [PDF]
EcologyAbstract Anticipating population declines is a crucial goal of conservation ecology. Recent conceptual work suggests that populations facing growing stressors should exhibit sequential shifts in behavior, morphology, and abundance before declining to extinction.

An electrophysiological and kinematic model of Paramecium, the "swimming neuron".
PLoS Computational Biology, 2023 Paramecium is a large unicellular organism that swims in fresh water using cilia. When stimulated by various means (mechanically, chemically, optically, thermally), it often swims backward then turns and swims forward again in a new direction: this is ...

Survival Rate and Growth of Fighting Fish Larvae (Betta splendens Regan) Fed on Various Live Foods
Jurnal Akuakultur Indonesia, 2007 Larval of fighting fish (Betta splendens Regan) requires precise live foods for its growth and survival. In this experiment, fish larvae were fed on either Paramecium + Artemia, Paramecium + Artemia + Tubifex, Paramecium + Moina, or Paramecium + Moina +

RNA interference reveals the escape response mechanism of Paramecium to mechanical stimulation
Biophysics and Physicobiology, 2023 In Paramecium, a mechanical stimulus applied to the posterior portion of the cell causes a transient increase in membrane permeability to potassium ions, transiently rendering the membrane in a hyperpolarized state.
