Abstract excerpt
We applied exogenous guanosine trisphosphate, GTP, to Paramecium tetraurelia cells injected with Fura Red for analysing changes of free intracellular Ca(2+) concentrations, [Ca(2+)](i), during periodic back-/forward swimming thus induced. Strain ginA (non-responsive to GTP) shows no Ca(2+) signal upon GTP application. In strain nd6 (normal Ca(2+) signalling) an oscillating [Ca(2+)](i) response with a prominent...
