Microinjection of magnetic micro-beads instead of endosymbiotic chlorella into Paramecium bursaria and their behavior.

چکیده
Instead of zoochlorella endosymbionts, magnetic micro-beads (Dynabeads) was microinjected into P. bursaria white strain which can resultantly response to magnetism. The system may provide an interesting artificial endosymbiosis system.

Differences in infectivity between endosymbiotic Chlorella variabilis cultivated outside host Paramecium bursaria for 50 years and those immediately isolated from host cells after one year of reendosymbiosis
Chlorella variabilis strain NC64A is an intracellular photobiont of the ciliate Paramecium bursaria. NC64A was isolated from P. bursaria nearly 50 years ago and was thereafter cultivated outside the host. This study was undertaken to detect changes in its infectivity to P. bursaria and its auxotrophy for growth outside the host induced during long-term cultivation. NC64A can grow in Modified Bo...
متن کاملThe influence of hypergravity on the Paramecium bursaria-Chlorella sp. symbiotic association.
The aim of the research was to determine the influence of strong hypergravity on the Paramecium bursaria-Chlorella sp. symbiotic association, which is considered to be a model example of symbiosis between a heterotroph and an autotroph. The paramecia cells were exposed to 1073 x g, 4293 x g, and 9658 x g hypergravity for 15 min. Then they were incubated for 21 d on a standard lettuce medium. Th...
متن کاملThe systematics of Zoochlorella revisited employing an integrative approach.
Symbiosis of green algae with protozoa and invertebrates has been studied for more than 100 years. Endosymbiotic green algae are widely distributed in ciliates (e.g. Paramecium, Stentor, Climacostomum, Coleps, Euplotes), heliozoa (e.g. Acanthocystis) and invertebrates (e.g. Hydra, Spongilla), and have traditionally been identified as named or unnamed species of Chlorella Beij. or Zoochlorella K...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of a new type of chlorovirus that infects an endosymbiotic Chlorella strain of the heliozoon Acanthocystis turfacea.
A novel virus, named Acanthocystis turfacea Chlorella virus (ATCV), that infects endosymbiotic Chlorella algae of the heliozoon Acanthocystis turfacea was isolated from freshwater samples. Electron microscopic analysis of ATCV revealed that the viral capsid has a distinct icosahedral shape with a diameter of 140-190 nm. Filamentous structures extending from some of the virus vertices, which may...
متن کاملAn experimental test of the symbiosis specificity between the ciliate Paramecium bursaria and strains of the unicellular green alga Chlorella.
The ciliate Paramecium bursaria living in mutualistic relationship with the unicellular green alga Chlorella is known to be easily infected by various potential symbionts/parasites such as bacteria, yeasts and other algae. Permanent symbiosis, however, seems to be restricted to Chlorella taxa. To test the specificity of this association, we designed infection experiments with two aposymbiotic P...
