Differential gene expression during stationary phase between amicronucleates and micronucleates of the ciliated protist, Pseudourostyla cristata
Ciliates are unicellular eukaryotic organisms with two types of nuclei, the ‘germline’ micronucleus (MIC) and the ‘somatic’ macronucleus (MAC). We previously reported that when the MIC of Pseudourostyla cristata ...
