Paramecium bursaria, which forms a natural symbiosis with the alga Chlorella vulgaris in nature, serves as the host cell. The work is published in the journal Lab on a Chip.

Biodiversity Bombshell: Polar Bears And Penguins Prospering, But Pity Those Paramecium! ByLarry Bell, Contributor. Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights.
The genome of the ciliate Paramecium tetraurelia has now been sequenced, and its nearly 40,000 genes (it's a very 'gene rich' genome) show evidence of at least three whole-genome duplications.
THE suggestion made by Gunn and Walshe1, that the avoiding reaction of Paramecium fits into the scheme of klino–kinesis, receives some support from the behaviour of the animal in a uniform high ...
Until now, however, a paramecium-like propulsion system with the large number of moving, hair-like cilia that these organisms use has seemed beyond reach.
The paramecium is an amazing organism. It survives and thrives using just one basic principle: If things are getting better, keep swimming in that direction, and if not, change course. If the ...

Researchers from Cornell University unveiled an entire robot that is teensy enough to fit most anywhere in the human body — yes, even in there — and inexpensive enough to produce on a mass scale.
