The Role of Membrane-Bound Extracellular Vesicles During Co-Stimulation and Conjugation in the Ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila [PDF]
During sexual reproduction, the freshwater ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila sheds membrane-bound vesicles into the extracellular environment (cEMVs: ciliary extracellular micro-vesicles).

Temperature affects the repeatability of evolution in the microbial eukaryote Tetrahymena thermophila [PDF]
Evolutionary biologists have long sought to understand what factors affect the repeatability of adaptive outcomes. To better understand the role of temperature in determining the repeatability of adaptive trajectories, we evolved populations of different

Native doublet microtubules from Tetrahymena thermophila reveal the importance of outer junction proteins [PDF]
Cilia are ubiquitous eukaryotic organelles responsible for cellular motility and sensory functions. The ciliary axoneme is a microtubule-based cytoskeleton consisting of two central singlets and nine outer doublet microtubules.

Development of a Tetrahymena thermophila-Based Vaccine Expressing Miamiensis avidus Ciliary Proteins to Combat Scuticociliatosis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Miamiensis avidus is a parasitic pathogen responsible for scuticociliatosis, a lethal infection affecting marine fish worldwide, including Japanese flounder. Immunisation with formalin‐killed M. avidus has shown promise in inducing protective immunity, positioning it as a potential vaccine candidate against scuticociliatosis.
