Gregarines are single-celled parasites in the phylum Apicomplexa that infect invertebrates. They are highly abundant on three levels: among a large diversity of invertebrates, in the proportion of population of organisms they infect, and within indiv

In Gregarina niphandrodes, an apicomplexan parasite, the sexual stage of its life cycle begins with the association of 2 gamonts. Here, we describe the ultrastructure of the syzygy junction and the nucleus during the transition from unassociated trop

Gregarines are early diverging apicomplexans that appear to be closely related to Cryptosporidium. Most apicomplexans, including Plasmodium, Toxoplasma, and Eimeria, possess both plastids and corresponding plastid genomes. Cryptosporidium lacks both

Gregarines are protozoan parasites of invertebrates in the phylum Apicomplexa. We employed an expressed sequence tag strategy in order to dissect the molecular processes of sexual or gametocyst development of gregarines. Expressed sequence tags provi

Light microscopy is an important investigative tool for biology that is used regularly in high schools and colleges. However, many biological specimens are of low contrast and cannot easily be visualized by brightfield compound microscopes which are

Chlamydomonas mutants missing the central pair or radial spokes are paralyzed despite the fact that they have the full wild-type complement of functional dynein ATPases. We show here that these mutants can move under conditions of low ATP concentrati

Axonemal sliding involves both sliding velocity and the extent of sliding, that is how many doublets slide. It is clear that axonemes cannot beat if all doublets were to slide simultaneously, thus sliding extent is important. Using the turbidimetric

Substrate analogs are useful for studying the structures of active sites and for distinguishing between similar enzyme activities. Fluorescent ribose-modified ATP analogs were used to investigate the functional differences between dynein ATPases. The
