Differential remodelling of peroxisome function underpins the environmental and metabolic adaptability of diplonemids and kinetoplastids [PDF]
, 2016 The remodelling of organelle function is increasingly appreciated as a central driver of eukaryotic biodiversity and evolution. Kinetoplastids including Trypanosoma and Leishmania have evolved specialized peroxisomes, called glycosomes.

Mutation accumulation in
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010 Background The rate and fitness effects of mutations are key in understanding the evolution of every species. Traditionally, these parameters are estimated in mutation accumulation experiments where replicate lines are propagated in conditions that allow

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

Nucleotide Pyrophosphatase of Tetrahymena pyriformis [PDF]
Nature, 1967 IN an investigation of the synthesis of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) by Tetrahymena pyriformis we examined the enzyme cleavage of NAD by this ciliate. There seems to be a lack of information about the cleavage of this coenzyme by Protozoa1,2.

Steric effects at C-20 and C-24 on the metabolism of sterols by Tetrahymena pyriformis.
Journal of Lipid Research, 1981 Cultures of Tetrahymena pyriformis were incubated with various sterols and the extent of dehydrogenation at C-7 and C-22 was determined. The sterols incubated were desmosterol, 22-dehydrodesmosterol, 24-methyldesmosterol, 24 alpha-methylcholesterol ...

Nutrient uptake in Tetrahymena pyriformis [PDF]
Carlsberg Research Communications, 1976 Several morphological structures have been implicated in nutrient uptake in the ciliate protozoon,Tetrahymena pyriformis: food vacuoles, various types of vesicles and the plasma membrane. It is the object of this report to discuss the roles of these organelles in food uptake.
