Additionally, research on the encystment and excystment processes in ciliated protists has shed light on the adaptive strategies these organisms employ to survive in harsh environments ...

Researchers at Georgia Tech established 165 experimental microcosms—simplified, laboratory ecosystems—harboring either one or two species of ciliated protists along with three varieties of bacterial ...

Centrioles have counterparts in ciliated and flagellated cells in both multicellular organisms and unicellular protists. These counterparts are called ‘basal bodies’, because they are found at ...

Main reserach interests are the systematics and biodiversity of ciliated protists (ciliates) inlcuding: (1) morphology and morphogenesis; (2) molecular phylogeny; (3) use as bioindicators of water ...
