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 …

This paper describes a method which allows the amplification of Paramecium micronuclear
DNA. Amacronucleate cells are first obtained by an appropriate treatment with nocodazole …

We have analyzed the macronuclear DNA of Paramecium tetraurelia using orthogonal‐field‐
altemation gel electrophoresis. The mean size of the linear macronuclear DNA molecules is …

The amitotic division of the macronucleus of Paramecium tetraurelia produces daughter
macronuclei which frequently differ in DNA content. In wild‐type cells these differences are …

A method for the isolation of micronuclear DNA from Paramecium tetraurelia has been
developed. After cell lysis, a low speed centrifugation at 1,000 g is used to remove all of the …

Protein extracts from the protozoan ciliate Paramecium tetraurelia revealed high levels of
RNA‐dependent DNA polymerase activity (reverse transcriptase). Stable and constant …

Macronuclear DNA was isolated from Paramecium primaurelia, stock 168. Although the
macronucleus is polyploid to the extent of 840C, in other respect the DNA appears to be …

In Paramecium, the differentiation of a highly polyploid macronucleus from a diploid nucleus
is accompanied by an extensive reorganization of the genome, involving reduction in …

A repeated DNA sequence has been identified in the macronucleus of several Paramecium
species. In P. tetraurelia the repeat was identified in the subtelomeric region of four …

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 …
