Cytogamy: An Inducible, Alternate Pathway of Conjugation in TETRAHYMENA THERMOPHILA

We report the occurrence of cytogamy in Tetrahymena thermophila. By analogy to Paramecium, cytogamy generates exconjugant clones that derive their entire genetic information from a single meiotic product of their cytoplasmic parent. Thus, "instant" whole-genome homozygotes are created. Cyt...
