Introducing the concept of biocatalysis in the classroom: The conversion of cholesterol to provitamin D 3 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Biocatalysis is a fundamental concept in biotechnology. The topic integrates knowledge of several disciplines; therefore, it was included in the course “design and optimization of biological systems” which is offered in the biochemistry curricula.

Deep Learning‐Assisted Rapid Bacterial Classification Based on Raman Spectroscopy of Bacteria Lysed by Acoustically Driven Fiber‐Tip Vibration

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 32, August 28, 2025.
A novel acoustofluidic lysis technique based on a vibrating fiber‐tip is integrated with Raman spectroscopy and deep learning for rapid, label‐free bacterial classification. By exposing intracellular biomolecules, this method significantly enhances spectral resolution, enabling high‐accuracy classification with a 1D‐ResNet model.

Novel Insights into the Development and Function of Cilia Using the Advantages of the Paramecium Cell and Its Many Cilia

open access: yesCells, 2015
Paramecium species, especially P. tetraurelia and caudatum, are model organisms for modern research into the form and function of cilia. In this review, we focus on the ciliary ion channels and other transmembrane proteins that control the beat frequency

Virulence and Vertically Transmitted Pathogens: The Role of Costs Paid by Co‐Evolving Hosts in a Self‐Regulating Population

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
Theory suggests that coevolution can lead to a positive relationship between host‐pathogen antagonism and vertical transmission, but it’s uncertain whether host demographics or the nature of immune costs drive this pattern. We address this uncertainty with a mathematical model of host‐pathogen co‐evolution that allows for both vertical and horizontal ...

Centrin diversity and basal body patterning across evolution: new insights from Paramecium

open access: yesBiology 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 ...

Two Centrins and Their Posttranslational Modification Modulate the Cell Cycle of Giardia lamblia

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 4, August 2025.
Two Giardia lamblia centrins (Glcents) play a role in cell cycle progression and morphogenesis of Giardia. Both Glcents are substrates of GlSUMO, suggesting a role of SUMOylation in their proper localization. SUMOylation is also involved in regulating vacuole formation in Giardia.

The mitochondrial genomes of the ciliates Euplotes minuta and Euplotes crassus

open access: yesBMC 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.

The mitochondrial genome sequence of the ciliate Paramecium caudatum reveals a shift in nucleotide composition and codon usage within the genus Paramecium

open access: yesBMC 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.

Sensorimotor process with constraint satisfaction. Grounding of meaning. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
An approach to meaning generation that allows groundings of the meaning is used [1]. Considering that meaning generation is key to cognition, such approach goes with grounding of cognition in sensorimotor coordination.

Twisted Tales: Insights into Genome Diversity of Ciliates Using Single-Cell 'Omics. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The emergence of robust single-cell 'omics techniques enables studies of uncultivable species, allowing for the (re)discovery of diverse genomic features.
