Paramecium tetraurelia trichocyst exocytosis recovery

ABSTRACT: Paramecium cells possess a few thousand trichocysts (big secretory granules of 3~4 um long) docked at their surface and whose discharge in the external medium can be triggered using aminoethyldextran (a modified dextran positively charged) without damage to the cells. After discharge, new trichocysts are re-synthesized by the cells. We studied the evolution of the transcriptome during this synthesis.
