Towards an Ecological Understanding of Dinoflagellate Cyst Functions
The life cycle of many dinoflagellates includes at least one nonflagellated benthic stage (cyst). In the literature, the different types of dinoflagellate cysts are mainly defined based on morphological (number and type of layers in the cell wall) and ...

Gamma Radiation Tolerance and Protein Carbonylation Caused by Irradiation of Resting Cysts in the Free-living Ciliated Protist Colpoda cucullus [PDF]
The ciliate Colpoda cucullus forms resting cysts to survive unfavorable environmental stresses. In this study, we have shown that Colpoda resting cysts survived exposure to a gamma radiation dose of ...

How Ciliated Protists Survive by Cysts: Some Key Points During Encystment and Excystment
Forming cysts is a common and important bionomic strategy for microorganisms to persist in harsh environments. In ciliated protists, many species have been reported to form cysts when facing unfavorable conditions.
