Gravikinesis in Stylonychia mytilus is based on membrane potential changes

Martin Krause, Richard Bräucker, Ruth Hemmersbach
Journal: Journal of Experimental Biology
J Exp Biol (2010) 213 (1): 161–171.
https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.030940
Published: 1 January 2010
...Martin Krause; Richard Bräucker; Ruth Hemmersbach SUMMARY The graviperception of the hypotrichous ciliate Stylonychia mytilus was investigated using electrophysiological methods and behavioural analysis. It is shown that Stylonychia can sense gravity and thereby compensates sedimentation rate...

A Novel Type of Ciliary Activity in Stylonychia Mytilus : Analysis of Potential-Coupled Motor Responses in the Transverse Cirri

Yoshihiro Mogami, Hans Machemer
Journal: Journal of Experimental Biology
J Exp Biol (1991) 161 (1): 239–255.
https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.161.1.239
Published: 1 November 1991
...Yoshihiro Mogami; Hans Machemer ABSTRACT The motor responses of the transverse cirri of Stylonychia mytilus were investigated by applying high-speed microcinematography and step voltageclamp. As a response to hyperpolarization, the transverse cirri began to swing posteriorly from an inactive...
