Searching for Excystment-Regulated Genes in Sterkiella histriomuscorum (Ciliophora, Oxytrichidae): A mRNA Differential Display Analysis of Gene Expression in Excysting Cells (2001)

EDUARDO VILLALOBO, CLARA MOCH, ROLAND PERASSO, ANNE BAROIN-TOURANCHEAU

In the absence of food, the oxytrichid Sterkiella histriomuscorum transforms like many ciliates into resting cysts. When transferred back into feeding medium, the cyst re-transforms into a vegetative...

PCR for Detection of Shigella spp. in Mayonnaise

Villalobo, Eduardo, Torres, Antonio

The use of PCR to amplify a specific virA gene fragment serves as a highly specific and sensitive method to detect virulent bacteria of the genus Shigella and enteroinvasive Escherichia coli....

Cysteine Proteases and Cell Differentiation: Excystment of the Ciliated Protist Sterkiella histriomuscorum

Villalobo, Eduardo, Moch, Clara, Fryd-Versavel, Ghislaine, Fleury-Aubusson, Anne, Morin, Loïc

The process of excystment of Sterkiella histriomuscorum (Ciliophora, Oxytrichidae) leads in a few hours, through a massive influx of water and the resorption of the cyst wall, from an...

EhLimA, a Novel LIM Protein, Localizes to the Plasma Membrane in Entamoeba histolytica▿

Wender, Nomy, Villalobo, Eduardo, Mirelman, David

The parasitic protozoan Entamoeba histolytica relies on a very dynamic cytoskeleton in order to invade and survive in host tissues. Identification of cytoskeletal elements is key to understanding...
