High impact information on Ciliophora

• Resting cysts of Sterkiella histriomuscorum (Ciliophora, Oxytrichidae) have been shown to contain messenger RNA, one of which codes for a protein significantly similar to CROC-1 [1].
• Cell surface control in Blepharisma intermedium (Protozoa Ciliata). Blocking of gamone II-induced homotypic interacting ligands [2].
• Cysteine proteinase activities in the fish pathogen Philasterides dicentrarchi (Ciliophora: Scuticociliatida) [3].
• A neighbor-joining tree was constructed based on nucleotide sequence variation among H4 genes to evaluate evolutionary relationships within and among six classes of Ciliophora [4].
• Morphology and infraciliature of three species of Metaurostylopsis (Ciliophora, Stichotrichia): M. songi n. sp., M. salina n. sp., and M. marina (Kahl 1932) from sediments, saline ponds, and coastal waters [5].

Anatomical context of Ciliophora

• The dynamics of the densities of epidermal thionin-positive cells (putative mast cells) in the skin of brown trout fry were investigated during experimental infections with the skin parasites Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (Ciliophora) and Gyrodactylus derjavini (Monogenea) [6].
• H4 histone in the macronucleus of Blepharisma japonicum (Protozoa, Ciliophora, Heterotrichida) [7].

Associations of Ciliophora with chemical compounds

• The methanol extract of B. ciliata exhibited significant anti-inflammatory potential at the dose levels examined [8].
• Comparison of toxic effects of nitric oxide and peroxynitrite on Uronema marinum (Ciliata: Scuticociliatida) [9].
• New lignan glycosides with potent antiinflammatory effect, isolated from Justicia ciliata [10].
• D. psilurus chloroform and D. ciliata ethyl acetate extracts were shown to exhibit antiradical activities, with slow kinetic action [11].
• Chemical studies on bryophytes. 18. Luteolin 7-O-Neohesperidoside-4'-O-sophoroside, another new tetraglycoside from Hedwigia ciliata [12].

Gene context of Ciliophora

• alpha-Tubulin of Histriculus cavicola (Ciliophora; Hypotrichea) [13].
• Effects of bile acids on proliferation and production of proteinase activity of Uronema marinum (Ciliophora: Scuticociliatida) [14].
• Mode of action of alkylating agents using a ciliate protozoan as a model system: Part V--effect of metepa on protein synthesis in Blepharisma intermedium (Ciliata) [15].
• Trichodinid ectoparasites (Ciliophora: Peritrichia) of freshwater fishes of the family Anabantidae from the Okavango River and Delta (Botswana) [16].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Ciliophora

• In a bioassay guided phytochemical investigation of Toona ciliata (Fam. Meliaceae), a new hydroxy steroidal ketone, 12alpha-hydroxystigmast-4-en-3-one (1) was isolated from the petroleum ether extract of the plant together with two known steroids and three C-methyl coumarins [17].
