Index Kappa organism

In biology, Kappa organism or Kappa particle refers to inheritable cytoplasmic symbionts, occurring in some strains of the ciliate Paramecium. [1]

14 relations: Bacteria, Ciliate, Cytoplasm, Feulgen stain, Gene, Genotype, Giemsa stain, Nucleoprotein, Organelle, Paramecium, Paramecium aurelia, R bodies, Symbiosis, Virus.

Bacteria

Bacteria (common noun bacteria, singular bacterium) is a type of biological cell.

Ciliate

The ciliates are a group of protozoans characterized by the presence of hair-like organelles called cilia, which are identical in structure to eukaryotic flagella, but are in general shorter and present in much larger numbers, with a different undulating pattern than flagella.

Cytoplasm

In cell biology, the cytoplasm is the material within a living cell, excluding the cell nucleus.

Feulgen stain

Feulgen stain is a staining technique discovered by Robert Feulgen and used in histology to identify chromosomal material or DNA in cell specimens.It is darkly stained.

Gene

In biology, a gene is a sequence of DNA or RNA that codes for a molecule that has a function.

Genotype

The genotype is the part of the genetic makeup of a cell, and therefore of an organism or individual, which determines one of its characteristics (phenotype).

Giemsa stain

Giemsa stain, named after German chemist and bacteriologist Gustav Giemsa, is used in cytogenetics and for the histopathological diagnosis of malaria and other parasites.

Nucleoprotein

Nucleoproteins are any proteins that are structurally associated with nucleic acids, either DNA or RNA.

Organelle

In cell biology, an organelle is a specialized subunit within a cell that has a specific function, in which their function is vital for the cell to live.

Paramecium

Paramecium (also Paramoecium) is a genus of unicellular ciliates, commonly studied as a representative of the ciliate group.

Paramecium aurelia

Paramecium aurelia are unicellular organisms belonging to the genus Paramecium of the phylum Ciliophora.

R bodies

R bodies (from refractile bodies, also R-bodies) are polymeric protein inclusions formed inside the cytoplasm of bacteria.

Symbiosis

Symbiosis (from Greek συμβίωσις "living together", from σύν "together" and βίωσις "living") is any type of a close and long-term biological interaction between two different biological organisms, be it mutualistic, commensalistic, or parasitic.

Virus

A virus is a small infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of other organisms.
