## Abstract __Euplotes crassus__, like other species of __Euplotes__, possesses organelles commonly known as ampules, which are associated with the roots of cilia and organelles composed of cilia. Ampules of __E. crassus__ greatly increase their functional activity during the cellular interaction w
## Abstract Conjugation in ciliates is induced by the interaction between preconjugant cells of complementary mating types. We investigated this interaction in __Euplotes crassus__ by inserting a temporary treatment of 10 ฮผg/ml cycloheximide before and during the interaction. This agent effectively
## Abstract The direct conjugant interactions leading to pair formation (โVisible Reactionโ) of __Oxytricha bifaria__ were studied by means of enzymes acting on the cell surface. They are able to interrupt at successive stages the cell interactions occurring during the Visible Reaction. The results
