Samuel, A.D.T., Murthy, V.N. & Hengartner, M.O. Calcium dynamics during fertilization in C. elegans.
BMC Developmental Biology 1, 8 (2001).
Publisher's VersionAbstractOf the animals typically used to study fertilization-induced calcium dynamics, none is as accessible to genetics and molecular biology as the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans. Motivated by the experimental possibilities inherent in using such a well-established model organism, we have characterized fertilization-induced calcium dynamics in C. elegans.

BMC Microbiology 1, 4 (2001).
Publisher's VersionAbstractMany bacteria swim by rotating helical flagellar filaments [
1]. Waterbury et al. [
15] discovered an exception, strains of the cyanobacterium
Synechococcus that swim without flagella or visible changes in shape. Other species of cyanobacteria glide on surfaces [
2,
7]. The hypothesis that
Synechococcus might swim using traveling surface waves [
6,
13] prompted this investigation.
