Plastic cell morphology changes during dispersal
2021, iScienceCitation Excerpt :This is a distinct example of a transiently emerging morphology that is not present before dispersal behavior is initiated. Caudal cilia do not appear to beat and may serve as a rudder for steering rapid cell motility (Video S1 (Nelsen, 1978)). Caudal cilia have also been detected on other Tetrahymena species and ciliates including Ichthyophthirius, Uronema, Paramecium, and Coleps/Levicoleps (Corliss, 1957; Foissner et al., 2008; Holz and Corliss, 1956; Lu et al., 2016; Nelsen and Debault, 1978; Tamm, 1978; Kozel, 1986).
From Molecules to Morphology: Cellular Organization of Tetrahymena thermophila
2012, Methods in Cell BiologyCitation Excerpt :Cells starved for several hours in inorganic medium assemble cilia on generally unciliated somatic BBs, including anterior BBs of the apical crown (Nelsen and Debault, 1978). Moreover, such cells form an exceptionally long cilium (15–20 μm) at the posterior pole of the cell (caudal cilium) as a part of their transformation into the “rapid swimmer” phenotype (Nelsen, 1978; Nelsen and Debault, 1978). Tetrahymena assembles motile cilia with highly conserved 9 + 2 axonemes (Allen, 1968) (Fig. 2C).
