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.

Straight-line and turning locomotion of Paramecia [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 In this fluid dynamics video we investigate the flow field around straight-line swimming and right and left turning Paramecia using micro- particle image velocimetry ({\mu}PIV). A Paramecium controls its ciliary beating to produce different fluid velocities on either side of its body.

Exploring the Frontiers of Cell Temperature Measurement and Thermogenesis
Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 9, 2025.This review focuses on the mechanisms of local temperature generation within cells and the methods developed for accurate temperature assessment. Contact and noncontact techniques are introduced, including infrared thermography, fluorescence thermometry, and other innovative localized temperature measurement approaches.

Turing Test, Chinese Room Argument, Symbol Grounding Problem. Meanings in Artificial Agents [PDF]
, 2012 The Turing Test (TT), the Chinese Room Argument (CRA), and the Symbol Grounding Problem (SGP) are about the question “can machines think?”. We propose to look at that question through the capability for Artificial Agents (AAs) to generate meaningful ...

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.

Realizing the physics of motile cilia synchronization with driven colloids
, 2015 Cilia and flagella in biological systems often show large scale cooperative behaviors such as the synchronization of their beats in "metachronal waves".

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 72, Issue 1, January/February 2025.Abstract The globally distributed ciliate Balanion planctonicum is a primary consumer of phytoplankton spring blooms. Due to its small size (~20 μm), identification and quantification by molecular tools is preferable as an alternative to the laborious counting of specimen in quantitative protargol stains. However, previous sequencing of the 18S rDNA V9

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.
