Abstract excerpt
The K+-agitated (Kag) mutant of Paramecium caudatum shows prolonged backward swimming in K+-rich solution. To understand the regulation mechanisms of the ciliary motility in P. caudatum, we examined the membrane electrical properties of the Kag mutant. The duration of the backward swimming of the Kag in K+-rich solution was about 10 times longer than that of the wild type. In response to an injection of the...
