Uncoupling of basal body duplication and cell division in crochu, a mutant of Paramecium hypersensitive to nocodazole.

Abstract excerpt

In Paramecium the development of cell shape and surface pattern during division depends on a precise spatial and temporal pattern of duplication of the ciliary basal bodies which are the organizers of the cortical cytoskeleton. According to their localization, basal bodies will duplicate once, more than once or not all and this duplication is coupled with cell division, as is centrosomal duplication in metazoan...
