Journal ArticleDOI
Cloning and characterization of endosymbiotic algae isolated from Paramecium bursaria
TL;DR: The cloned endosymbiotic algae presented here will provide an excellent opportunity to examine the mechanism of symbiont-host interaction and the interaction between the cloned algae and algae-free paramecia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Symbiotic Algae-free Strains of The Green Paramecium Paramecium bursaria Produced by Herbicide Paraquat
TL;DR: It is reported that all endosymbiotic algae are destroyed, producing symbiotic algae-free strains of paramecia, when greenParamecia are cultivated in the presence of a herbicide paraquat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Secretion of tetrain, a Tetrahymena cysteine protease, as a mature enzyme and its identification as a member of the cathepsin L subfamily
Kazu-michi Suzuki,Nakanobu Hayashi,Natsumi Hosoya,Tadao Takahashi,Toshikazu Kosaka,Hiroshi Hosoya +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that tetrain is synthesized at the logarithmic phase and is secreted into the culture medium as a mature form, and the primary structure and enzymatic properties support the conclusion that tetrail belongs to the cathepsin L subfamily.

Characterization of Symbiotic Algae-free Strains of Paramecium bursaria Produced by the Herbicide Paraquat
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results suggest that cytoplasmic microtubules play an important role in the cytop lasmic streaming of paramecia, and that treatment with nocodazole resulted in discontinuation of cy toplasmo streaming inParamecia.
