Abstract excerpt
Lithium ions have long been known to exert dramatic effects on the specification of cell fates in multicellular systems. We have analyzed the effects of Li+ on intracellular patterning in a complex unicellular organism, the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila. LiCl does not affect the locations of major structural landmarks in the cortical region of wild-type cells and does not modify the phenotype of pattern-mutant...
