Genetic dissection of attractant-induced conductances in Paramecium.

The Journal of experimental biology - 1 Jan 2007

Bell Wade E, Preston Robin R, Yano Junji, Van Houten Judith L

Abstract excerpt

Paramecium tetraurelia is attracted to acetate and biotin by swimming smoothly and fast up gradients of these attractants, and turning immediately and slowing down when leaving these stimuli. We use a group of mutants, each with a different defect in an identified ion conductance, to show that these two stimuli open different ion channels, and the behaviors that occur upon application of stimulus (on-response)...
