How To Use Tetrahymena In A Sentence
-
Pick any eukaryotic species (say, the ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena thermophila) — one cannot be certain that a member of that species shares common ancestry, from a discrete cell, with a member of any other eukaryotic species (say, Drosophila melanogaster).
A Disclaimer for Behe?
-
The implications that the whole machinery was conserved across kingdoms; that was obvious as soon as we saw that the tetrahymena telomeres worked in yeast.
Jack W. Szostak - Interview
-
Next, she and Jack Szostak performed an experiment showing that telomeres from one species, a pond-dwelling single-celled organism called tetrahymena, could protect DNA molecules, or mini-chromosomes, from a very distant organism, yeast.

-
The cells were fed with ciliates Tetrahymena pyriformis, which were axenically cultured in medium containing 1.0% proteose peptone supplemented with 0.1% yeast extract.
-
Thomas Cech and his group initially attributed the activity of their Tetrahymena RNA to a protein contaminant, and they only slowly succumbed to the weight of the accumulated data that argued for the RNA.
Sidney Altman - Banquet Speech
-
In the experiment, FAC was removed by washing the co-stimulated tetrahymena and resuspending them in fresh media.
2010 April - Telic Thoughts
-
The first hint of a breakthrough came when Blackburn was studying chromosomes in a simple pond-dwelling organism called tetrahymena.
-
Nearly three decades ago, Szostak began to collaborate with Blackburn, looking at the tips of the chromosome of a single-celled, pond-dwelling organism called Tetrahymena.
-
When studying the chromosomes of Tetrahymena, a unicellular ciliate organism, she identified a DNA sequence that was repeated several times at the ends of the chromosomes.
The 2009 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine - Press Release
-
To examine Tetrahymena RAD51 expression through the cell cycle, a synchronous population was obtained by centrifugal elutriation.
-
A soluble factor that influences mating in tetrahymena called factor active in conjugation (FAC) has been identified.
2010 April - Telic Thoughts
-
In a pioneering experiment, they demonstrated that telomere DNA from one organism, a unicellular ciliated protozoan called Tetrahymena thermophila, would protect and stabilise chromosomes in an entirely different organism, yeast.
The 2009 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine - Presentation Speech
-
Given the role that sexual reproduction already plays in evolvability, it is tempting to speculate that Tetrahymena are telling us that "junk DNA" serves a very useful role, but it is a role that is restricted to reproduction and evolution.
Another Protozoan and Front-Loading
-
The awkward way in which selenocysteine is kluged into the genetic code (which is not unique to Tetrahymena; we do it too), sharing a termination codon instead of having one to itself seems like a good example of a molecular "panda's thumb," reflecting the inherent difficulty of a late addition to the frozen accident of the genetic code.
Another Protozoan and Front-Loading
-
Small RNAs produced by an RNAi-related mechanism are involved in DNA elimination during development of the somatic macronucleus from the germline micronucleus in Tetrahymena.
