(16) Autogamy is a process of meiosis and fertilization which takes place in unpaired Paramecium cells, and which is triggered by starvation.
(17) If, however, the hybrid cell lines are brought to autogamy (which discards the existing macronucleus and forms a new one from sexual products derived from a micronucleus), then the lines revert to the ftA phenotype.
(18) If cells are refed at this point, or at later stages, autogamy continues.
(19) The level of starvation required for initiation of autogamy decreases progressively as cells age.
