Abstract excerpt
Paramecium are attracted to ammonium chloride solutions relative to sodium chloride control solutions, but little is known about the mechanisms by which attraction is evoked. A known effect of ammonium solutions in other cell types is an alteration of intracellular pH. We show here that intracellular pH is elevated upon initial exposure to 5 mM NH4Cl, but appears to decline within 10 minutes, both in wild type...
