摘要

Trichocysts are spear-like organelles that line the plasma membrane of the protist Paramecium and can be ejected out of the cell in response to stimuli. The purpose of trichocysts is unknown, though researchers have proposed that they may act as a defense or as hunting tools. Amandine Hamel et al. (pp. 7290-7295) used a laser to create hot spots in fluid surrounding single Paramecium cells, and observed how the cells reacted to the rapid temperature rise. The researchers found that when the lasers were 40 μm or greater from the cell, Paramecium used coordinated cilia movements to swim away from the stimulus, but at short distances, the cells expelled trichocysts toward the laser beam, allowing the cell to "jump" in the opposite direction.
