DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2021.118143

Abstract: Driven by global warming and eutrophication, Microcystis blooms have posed a severe threat to freshwater ecosystems, especially their derived pollutants cause serious harm to aquatic organisms, thus it is urgent to develop an effective strategy… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ympev.2018.12.003

Abstract: Although some Paramecium species are suitable research objects in many areas of life sciences, the biodiversity structure of other species is almost unknown. In the current survey, we present a molecular analysis of 60 Cypriostomum… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-27050-8

Abstract: Intraflagellar transport (IFT) is a bi-directional process by which particles are carried within the cilia or flagella. This process is essential for ciliary growth and functional maintenance. The IFT complex B (IFTB) is linked to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/14772000.2020.1769225

Abstract: Members of the genus Paramecium (Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea) are widespread ciliates able to colonize many fresh, brackish and marine water environments around the globe. Despite they have been historically used in a variety of research fields,… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2023 at "Molecular Biology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msad107

Abstract: Abstract Whole-genome duplications (WGDs) have shaped the gene repertoire of many eukaryotic lineages. The redundancy created by WGDs typically results in a phase of massive gene loss. However, some WGD–derived paralogs are maintained over long… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/nar/gkaf786

Abstract: Abstract Repairing programmed DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) is crucial in the lifecycle of Paramecium tetraurelia, especially during its sexual reproduction phase when its somatic polyploid macronucleus is lost. The formation of a new macronucleus involves… read more here.

DOI: 10.1101/2022.02.15.480485

Abstract: Paramecium is a large unicellular organism that swims in fresh water using cilia. When stimulated by various means (mechanically, chemically, optically, thermally), it often swims backward then turns and swims forward again in a new… read more here.

DOI: 10.1101/2022.05.18.492358

Abstract: With its nuclear dualism, the ciliate Paramecium constitutes an original model to study how host genomes cope with transposable elements (TEs). P. tetraurelia harbors two germline micronuclei (MIC) and a polyploid somatic macronucleus (MAC) that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1101/2022.12.20.521225

Abstract: In this work, we report investigations of the swimming behavior of Paramecium tetraurelia, a unicellular microorganism, in micro-engineered pools that are decorated with thousands of cylindrical pillars. Two types of contact interactions are measured, either… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jeu.13030

Abstract: Paramecium exhibits responsive behavior to environmental changes, moving either closer to or further away from stimuli. Electrophysiological experiments have revealed that these behavioral responses are controlled by membrane potentials. Anoctamin, a Ca2+‐activated Cl− channel, is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s13630-017-0050-z

Abstract: BackgroundThe development of a ciliary axoneme requires the correct docking of the basal body at cytoplasmic vesicles or plasma membrane. In the multiciliated cell Paramecium, three conserved proteins, FOR20, Centrin 2, and Centrin 3 participate… read more here.
