Cilia, 2017 BackgroundThe development of a ciliary axoneme requires the correct docking of the basal body at cytoplasmic vesicles or plasma membrane. In the multiciliated cell Paramecium, three conserved proteins, FOR20, Centrin 2, and Centrin 3 participate in this ...

Ciliate Paramecium is a natural reservoir of Legionella pneumophila
Scientific Reports, 2016 Legionella pneumophila, the causative agent of Legionnaires’ disease, replicates within alveolar macrophages and free-living amoebae. However, the lifestyle of L. pneumophila in the environment remains largely unknown. Here we established a novel natural

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 Unicellular organisms such as ciliates are largely neglected in research on adaptive developmental plasticity, although their nuclear dualism offers ideal circumstances to study development outside an embryonic context.

ParTIES: a toolbox for Paramecium interspersed DNA elimination studies
Bioinform., 2016 MOTIVATION Developmental DNA elimination occurs in a wide variety of multicellular organisms, but ciliates are the only single-celled eukaryotes in which this phenomenon has been reported.

Metabolism of saturated fatty acids by Paramecium tetraurelia.
Journal of Lipid Research, 1987 Paramecium requires oleate for growth. The phospholipids of the ciliate contain high concentrations of palmitate and 18- and 20-carbon unsaturated fatty acids. We previously showed that radiolabeled oleate is desaturated and elongated to provide these 18-

Comparative Genomic Analysis of Holospora spp., Intranuclear Symbionts of Paramecia
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 While most endosymbiotic bacteria are transmitted only vertically, Holospora spp., an alphaproteobacterium from the Rickettsiales order, can desert its host and invade a new one.

Centrin diversity and basal body patterning across evolution: new insights from Paramecium
Biology Open, 2017 First discovered in unicellular eukaryotes, centrins play crucial roles in basal body duplication and anchoring mechanisms. While the evolutionary status of the founding members of the family, Centrin2/Vfl2 and Centrin3/cdc31 has long been investigated ...

Paramecium tetraurelia basal body structure
Cilia, 2016 Paramecium is a free-living unicellular organism, easy to cultivate, featuring ca. 4000 motile cilia emanating from longitudinal rows of basal bodies anchored in the plasma membrane.

BMC Genomics, 2011 Background Despite the fact that the organization of the ciliate mitochondrial genome is exceptional, only few ciliate mitochondrial genomes have been sequenced until today. All ciliate mitochondrial genomes are linear.

The mitochondrial genomes of the ciliates
BMC Genomics, 2009 Background There are thousands of very diverse ciliate species from which only a handful mitochondrial genomes have been studied so far. These genomes are rather similar because the ciliates analysed (Tetrahymena spp.
