Protozoan

Definition:

(a.) Of or pertaining to the Protozoa.
(n.) One of the Protozoa.

Example Sentences:

(2) Upon incubation with fluoresceinylated neoglycoproteins, isolated macronuclei from the ciliated protozoan Euplotes eurystomus display different labelling patterns depending on the nature of the sugar bound to the neoglycoproteins.
(3) It is suggested that this early immune maturity may play a role in the hardiness of WAD goats and in their relative resistance to helminth and protozoan infection as compared with local sheep.
(4) We compared the molecular nature of the rat brain opiate receptor with that of the invertebrate leech, Haemopis marmorata, and the protozoan, Tetrahymena, in order to examine the issue of apparent receptor heterogeneity with respect to biochemical structure.
(5) The protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi is able to replicate in the cytoplasm of primary resident macrophages, but is killed by activated macrophages.
(6) Axenic H. vermiformis strain CDC-19 has been deposited with the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC 50237) and should prove useful in the study of protozoan-bacterial interaction.
(7) No cross reactions were observed in sera immune to other protozoan, helmintic and bacterial infections, although some cross reactivity was seen in P. falciparum immune sera.
(8) Alveolar macrophages from the 3 groups of subjects had similar limited microbicidal ability for the obligate intracellular protozoan, Toxoplasma gondii, and similar numbers of elastase receptors and affinity for elastase.
(9) DNA-dependent RNA polymerase from blood forms and culture forms of the parasitic protozoan Trypanosoma brucei was resolved into multiple peaks of activity by DEAE-Sephadex chromatography.
(10) A list is provided of the naturally or experimentally Aedes aegypti transmitted arboviruses (103), protozoans (5) and filaria (20).
(11) A 50% inhibition of the biosynthesis of dihydrosterculate is observed in the presence of 4 microM 10-thiastearate in the protozoan growth medium, but little effect is seen on the distribution of the other fatty acids.
(12) Protozoan species abundance was reduced to less than half by Zn but was unaffected by snails.
(13) Its presence in Giardia is consistent with the view that ARF emerged before the divergence of this protozoan from other eukaryotes (approximately 1.5 billion years ago), and that an ARF-like protein may have been the ancestor of several other classes of signal-transducing guanine nucleotide-binding proteins, including the alpha subunits of the heterotrimeric G proteins.
(14) We have found that the anaerobic protozoan parasite Giardia lamblia is incapable of de novo pyrimidine metabolism, as shown by its inability to incorporate orotate, bicarbonate, and aspartate into the pyrimidine nucleotide pool.
(15) Entamoeba coli was the most frequent protozoan (23.5%).
(16) In the macronucleus of the ciliated protozoan, Tetrahymena pyriformis GL, the genes coding for 17S and 25S rRNA exist as free, extrachromosomal molecules.
(17) Faecal samples were collected from 20 pigs in 4 age groups in randomly selected piggeries, and examined for the presence of eggs of helminth parasites and protozoan cysts.
(18) Nucleoside salvage pathways are vital to the parasitic protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, and have become important targets in the development of new chemotherapeutic agents against this organism.
(19) It is now well established that pathogens such as viruses, fungi bacteria and protozoans can have profound effects on the dynamics of their invertebrate host populations.
(20) Leishmania donovani, the protozoan causing visceral leishmaniasis, is an obligate intracellular parasite of mammalian macrophages.
