Physarum plasmodia do contain cytoplasmic microtubules!
It has been claimed that the plasmodium of the myxomycete Physarum polycephalum constitutes a very unusual syncytium, devoid of cytoplasmic microtubules. In contrast, we have observed a cytoplasmic microtubule network, by both electron microscopy and immunofluorescence in standard synchronous plasmodia, either in semi-thin sections or in smears, and in thin plasmodia, used as a convenient model...
متن کاملDo pyrotechnics contain radium?
Many pyrotechnic devices contain barium nitrate which is used as an oxidizer and colouring agent primarily for green-coloured fireworks. Similarly, strontium nitrate is used for red-coloured pyrotechnic effects. Due to their chemical similarities to radium, barium and strontium ores can accumulate radium, causing a remarkable activity in these minerals. Radium in such contaminated raw materials...
متن کاملWhat do human micronuclei contain?
As micronuclei (MN) derive from chromosomal fragments and whole chromosomes lagging behind in anaphase, the MN assay can be used to show both clastogenic and aneugenic effects. The distinction between these phenomena is important, since the exposure studied often induces only one type of MN. This particularly concerns the use of MN as a biomarker of genotoxic exposure and effects, where differe...

متن کاملCold-stable microtubules from Antarctic fishes contain unique alpha tubulins.
The cytoplasmic microtubules of Antarctic fishes assemble from their tubulin subunits at physiological body temperatures in the range -2 to +2 degrees C. Our objective is to determine the structural features that enhance the assembly of Antarctic fish tubulins at low temperatures. Here we compare the structures of tubulin subunits from three Antarctic fishes (Notothenia gibberifrons, Notothenia...
