Methods: To test this hypothesis and study the role of microtubules in P. caudatum learning,
we utilized a learning task in which the organism associates brightness in its swimming …

In Paramecium, the deployment of an acetylated microtubular network is restricted to a part
of the ventral cell surface, the A-paratene zone. Upon cell division, this microtubular network …

Paramecium is a unicellular organism that swims in fresh water by beating thousands of
cilia. When it is stimulated (mechanically, chemically, optically, thermally…), it often swims …

Learning is a cornerstone of intelligent behavior in animals. This behavior has been mostly
studied in organisms with a fairly complex nervous system. However, recent reports of …

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 …

The sensitivity of the microtubular systems to cold and nocodazole treatments as well as the
cellular distribution of microtubules containing acetylated a‐tubulin have been studied in …

A method for whole cell in situ hybridization in Paramecium was developed, which allowed
us to visualize both the cytoplasmic mRNA and the transcripts in the macronucleus, and to …

Paramecium tetraurelia cells with cortical inversions are characterized by a 180° rotation of
all the components of the ciliary rows (basal bodies and their ancillary structures) in a …
