It is a very common protist in freshwater bodies. I find it in nearly all my samples and it forms colonies.<br />Best wishes with your lunch break project!Ferry Siemensmahttp://www.arcella.nlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5460788270738656369.post-40321742254919568352008-03-13T21:38:00.000+08:002008-03-13T21:38:00.000+08:00Ya, I looked it up right after I asked and came to...Ya, I looked it up right after I asked and came to much the same conclusion. It frustrates me to no end when a morphological trait gets named based on just how it looks. I starve for more data. It seems to me that the bothrosome may not be anything more than a very active form of golgi complex, or something similar. Cells respond to nutrient stress in many unique ways, bending their organelles to extremes to respond to these stressors. Someone needs to identify some hallmark bothrosome proteins and then do some basic cell biological targeting studies.Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17760431784325477533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5460788270738656369.post-6286726579214753802008-03-12T06:10:00.000+08:002008-03-12T06:10:00.000+08:00As far as I can tell, the sagenogen is unique to l...As far as I can tell, the sagenogen is unique to labyrinthuleans. Motility in diatoms is apparently achieved by secretion of a slimy mucilage which the diatom moves through using actin filaments, according to <A HREF="http://www.sinauer.com/pdf/Diatoms_Guide.pdf" REL="nofollow">this</A>.Christopher Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11075565866351612441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5460788270738656369.post-67891255135338774032008-03-10T23:46:00.000+08:002008-03-10T23:46:00.000+08:00Nice post.

Any idea if diatoms also possess these (or similar) organelles? If so, have any of those diatom genome projects (T. pseudonana or P. tricornutum) identified genes involved in their formation, protein targeting, or other aspects?Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17760431784325477533noreply@blogger.com
