Site-Specific Methylation of Adenine in the Nuclear Genome of a Eucaryote, \u3cem\u3eTetrahymena thermophila\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]
DNA in the polyploid macronucleus of the ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena thermophila contains the modified base N6-methyladenine. We identified two GATC sites which are methylated in most or all of the 45 copies of the macronuclear genome.

Microcalorimetric study on the toxic effect of Pb2+ to Tetrahymena [PDF]
The toxic effect of Pb2+ has been studied in eukaryotic cells by using Tetrahymena as a target. The maximum power (P (m)) and the growth rate constant (k) were determined, which showed that values of P (m) and k were linked to the concentration (C) of ...

Inhibiting tubulin polymerisation, an essential step for cell proliferation, can control cell division. Our in silico study aims to screen out the derivatives of 1,3‐benzodioxole‐tagged formylbenzyl‐N, N‐dimethylmethanaminium ionic liquid for their potential as anticancer agents.

A Novel Family of Mobile Genetic Elements Is Limited to the Germline Genome in \u3cem\u3eTetrahymena Thermophila\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]
In the ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena thermophila, extensive DNA elimination is associated with differentiation of the somatic macronucleus from the germline micronucleus.

Bromophenols are synthesized chemicals that are widely used in various industrial activities and are also naturally produced by marine algae as secondary metabolites, including 2,4‐dibromophenol (2,4‐DBP), 2,6‐dibromophenol (2,6‐DBP), and 2,4,6‐tribromophenol (2,4,6‐TBP).

Toxic and genotoxic potential evaluation of soil samples by bioassays
Soil samples were obtained from Slovenian industrial region Šaleška dolina and aqueous leachates were prepared. The toxicity and genotoxicity potential of these aqueous fractions have been evaluated by in vitro toxicity and genotoxicity bioassays ...

A Family of Developmentally Excised DNA Elements in \u3cem\u3eTetrahymena\u3c/em\u3e is under Selective Pressure to Maintain an Open Reading Frame Encoding an Integrase-Like Protein [PDF]
Tlr1 is a member of a family of ~20-30 DNA elements that undergo developmentally regulated excision during formation of the macronucleus in the ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena.

Directional instability of microtubule transport in the presence of kinesin and dynein, two opposite polarity motor proteins. [PDF]
Kinesin and dynein are motor proteins that move in opposite directions along microtubules. In this study, we examine the consequences of having kinesin and dynein (ciliary outer arm or cytoplasmic) bound to glass surfaces interacting with the same ...

Ecosystem size and resource flows are key factors driving biodiversity and ecosystem function. However, the question of whether and how these drivers interact has been largely overlooked. Here, we show how ecosystem size asymmetry affects biodiversity and function of two‐patch meta‐ecosystems connected through flows of nonliving resources using a ...
