Temperature-dependent changes in the swimming behaviour of Tetrahymena pyriformis—NT1 and their interrelationships with electrophysiology and the state of membrane lipids
Abstract
The swimming velocity and the amplitude of the helical swimming path of T. pyriformis-NT1 cells grown at 20 degrees C (Tg 20 degrees C) and 38 degrees C (Tg 38 degrees C) were monitored between 0 and 40 degrees C in the presence and absence of electric fields. Within physiological limits the swimming velocity increased and the amplitude decreased as temperature was raised. The temperature profiles of these properties were not linear, and showed …
