Phenotype switching in polymorphic Tetrahymena: a single-cell Jekyll and Hyde.

International review of cytology - 1 Jan 2002

Ryals Phillip E, Smith-Somerville Harriett E, Buhse Howard E

Abstract excerpt

For nearly half a century, phenotype switching in the group of polymorphic species of the ciliate genus Tetrahymena has been the subject of investigations of the underlying mechanisms, the accompanying biochemical and structural changes, and the evolution of polymorphic survival strategy. Beginning with the pioneering systematic studies by Furgason in 1940 of hymenostome ciliates, the experimental approach...
