N 6-methyldeoxyadenosine directs nucleosome positioning in Tetrahymena DNA

Genome Biology, 2018
Background N 6-methyldeoxyadenosine (6mA or m6dA) was shown more than 40 years ago in simple eukaryotes. Recent studies revealed the presence of 6mA in more prevalent eukaryotes, even in vertebrates.

Tetrahymena ATG8 homologs, TtATG8A and TtATG8B, are responsible for mitochondrial degradation induced by starvation

mBio
The majority of heterotrophic unicellular eukaryotes have evolved mechanisms to survive periods of starvation, allowing them to endure until conditions are favorable for regrowth.

Role of apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) in programmed nuclear death during conjugation in Tetrahymena thermophila

BMC Cell Biology, 2010
Background Programmed nuclear death (PND), which is also referred to as nuclear apoptosis, is a remarkable process that occurs in ciliates during sexual reproduction (conjugation). In Tetrahymena thermophila, when the new macronucleus differentiates, the

Germ Line-Specific DNA Sequences are Present on All Five Micronuclear Chromosomes in \u3cem\u3eTetrahymena thermophila\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]

, 1983
The development of the macronucleus from the zygotic micronucleus in the ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena spp. involves the elimination of specific DNA sequences (M. C. Yao and M. Gorovsky, Chromosoma 48:1-18 1974).

Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase genes in Tribolium castaneum: evolution, molecular characterisation and gene expression during immune priming. [PDF]

, 2017
The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a normal consequence of the aerobic cell metabolism. Despite their high and potentially detrimental reactivity with various biomolecules, the endogenous production of ROS is a vital part of physiological,

The effect of temperature on glyceryl ethers in Tetrahymena pyriformis W

Journal of Lipid Research, 1982
The effect of temperature on the ether content of the glycerophospholipids of Tetrahymena pyriformis W was examined. The only ether detected was 1-O-hexadecyl glycerol (alpha-chimyl alcohol).

Ciliate contributions to bioaggregation: laboratory assays with axenic cultures of Tetrahymena thermophila [PDF]

, 2010
Protists, mainly ciliates, play several essential roles in biological wastewater treatment, such as the transfer of matter and energy, bacterial predation, and the removal of organic material.

A microcalorimetric assay of tetrahymena thermophila for assessing tributyltin acute toxicity [PDF]

, 2008
The power-time curves of Tetrahymena thermophila exposed to tributyltin (TBT) were detected by microcalorimetry. Metabolic rate (r) decreased significantly while peak time (PT) increased with the enhancement of TBT level.

Comparative genomics of the pathogenic ciliate Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, its free-living relatives and a host species provide insights into adoption of a parasitic lifestyle and prospects for disease control [PDF]

, 2011
BACKGROUND: Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, commonly known as Ich, is a highly pathogenic ciliate responsible for 'white spot', a disease causing significant economic losses to the global aquaculture industry.
