Abstract excerpt
Membrane potential responses of Paramecium caudatum to an application of K+-rich solution were examined to understand the mechanisms underlying K+-induced backward swimming. A wild-type cell impaled by a microelectrode produced action potentials followed by a sustained depolarization in response to an application of a K+-rich test solution. After termination of the application, a prolongation of the...
