Since there are no systematic studies available on the effects of anti-microtubule agents on
ciliated protozoa, we screened a wide variety of such compounds for their effects on the …

The effect of the microtubule inhibitor nocodazole was studied on Paramecium and shown to
arrest cell multiplication, depolymerize the internal microtubule network, and block the …

The effects of the microtubule inhibitors colchicine, parbendazole and nocodazole on the
growth of myxamoebae of Physarum polycephalum were closely paralleled by the effects of …

The effects of the microtubule-disrupting drugs, colchicine, vinblastine, podophyllotoxin,
griseofulvin, and lumicolchicine (10-5 M), on protein and RNA synthesis were studied in …

The present study of the cytoskeleton of Paramecium employed a number of heterologous
monoclonal antisera raised against intermediate filament proteins of higher organisms, and …

SYNOPSIS A method is described for the axenic mass cultivation of Paramecium tetraurelia
strains 51s and 299s. the ciliate is grown in an enriched axenic medium developed by …

The sensitivity of Paramecium tetraurelia (= P. aurelia syngen 4) cells to pulse treatments
with various doses of Actinomycin D (AMD) was estimated by comparing the generation …

The cortex of Paramecium behaves as a mosaic of territories expressing different
morphogenetic behavior in the course of cell division, being made up of both …

With two species of Paramecium, P. multimicronucleatum (Pm) and P. tetraurelia (Pt), we
explored in more detail the classical experiments of Gause from which the competitive …

Cultures of Paramecium aurelia were exposed to malathion and endosulfan and the toxic
effects were assessed up to 5 days. The ciliates survived up to 100 ppm of malathion but …
