Reconsidering the evidence for learning in single cells
eLife, 2021 The question of whether single cells can learn led to much debate in the early 20th century. The view prevailed that they were capable of non-associative learning but not of associative learning, such as Pavlovian conditioning. Experiments indicating the

The Surface Antigens of Paramecium aurelia [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1956 SUMMARY: A surface antigen preparation obtained from Paramecium aurelia absorbs from a concentrated antiserum approximately 74% of the total antibody absorbed by the intact animal. An antiserum prepared against this preparation immobilized P. aurelia of the same serotype.

A Ninth Variety of Paramecium aurelia [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1954 SUMMARY: A new variety of Paramecium aurelia—variety 9—containing two mating types XVII and XVIII, has been identified from seven samples of water collected in Scotland. Variety 9 belongs to the group A varieties in the Sonneborn system of classification, but shows no interparietal mating reactions.

Nuclear events during conjugation in the poorly studied model ciliate Paramecium jenningsi
Water Biology and Security, 2023 Ciliated protists are highly differentiated unicellular eukaryotes that possess special sexual processes (conjugation and autogamy) that rely on their unique nuclear dimorphism, i.e., the presence of both a germline micronucleus (MIC) and a somatic ...

Coexistence via resource partitioning fails to generate an increase in community function. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Classic ecological theory suggests that resource partitioning facilitates the coexistence of species by reducing inter-specific competition. A byproduct of this process is an increase in overall community function, because a greater spectrum of resources

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.

Density-and trait-mediated effects of a parasite and a predator in a tri-trophic food web [PDF]
, 2014 1. Despite growing interest in ecological consequences of parasitism in food webs, relatively little is known about effects of parasites on long-term population dynamics of non-host species or about whether such effects are density- or trait- mediated ...

Molecular epidemiology of African sleeping sickness [PDF]
, 2009 Human sleeping sickness in Africa, caused by Trypanosoma brucei spp. raises a number of questions. Despite the widespread distribution of the tsetse vectors and animal trypanosomiasis, human disease is only found in discrete foci which periodically give ...
