Motility of the diplomonad fish parasite Spironucleus vortens through thixotropic solid media.
Investigation of a series of nutrient-supplemented thixotropic gels at successive dilutions that impede the trajectories of a highly vigorous motile flagellated protist, Spironucleus vortens, provides insights into both its swimming characteristics and a means for its immobilization. The progress of movement of this organism through the solidified growth medium was monitored by the in situ redu...
متن کاملStable transfection of the diplomonad parasite Spironucleus salmonicida.
Eukaryotic microbes are highly diverse, and many lineages remain poorly studied. One such lineage, the diplomonads, a group of binucleate heterotrophic flagellates, has been studied mainly due to the impact of Giardia intestinalis, an intestinal, diarrhea-causing parasite in humans and animals. Here we describe the development of a stable transfection system for use in Spironucleus salmonicida,...
متن کاملPhylogenetic analysis of the SSU rRNA gene from the piscine diplomonad Spironucleus torosus (Diplomonadida: Hexamitinae).
Previous studies have recorded Spironucleus torosus Poynton et Morrison, 1990 from several species of gadoid fishes, including the only freshwater gadoid, the burbot Lota lota (L.). Two morphologically different isolates of S. torosus have been described (elongate and pyriform). Both have been found in saltwater, while only the elongate has been found in freshwater. To address the conspecificit...
متن کاملHydrogenosomes in the diplomonad Spironucleus salmonicida
Acquisition of the mitochondrion is a key event in the evolution of the eukaryotic cell, but diversification of the organelle has occurred during eukaryotic evolution. One example of such mitochondria-related organelles (MROs) are hydrogenosomes, which produce ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation with hydrogen as a byproduct. The diplomonad parasite Giardia intestinalis harbours mitosomes, an...
متن کاملAn episomal vector for stable tetracycline-regulated gene expression.
The recently introduced tetracycline (Tc)-regulatable eukaryotic gene expression system based on the Escherichia coli Tn 10 tetracycline operon has proven to be a powerful tool for controlled expression of a variety of genes in vitro as well as in vivo . Control elements of this expression system are contained in two separate plasmid vectors. The tTA vector encodes a transactivator protein and ...
