Abstract excerpt
Stomatogenesis in ciliates is a complex and carefully orchestrated event. The exo- mutant SB255 of Tetrahymena thermophila has defects in mucocyst formation and docking and can also have one or two mouths. Three common culture media (proteose peptone, Medium 357, and yeast extract) were analyzed for total C, N, and inorganic elements and then tested for their effect on the number of mouths present in SB255....
