Insensitivity of ciliary outgrowth in situ by Stentor to far UV.
Outgrowth of membranellar cilia in situ by the ciliate protozoan Stentor coeruleus is not affected by either far UV or by postirradiation exposure to cycloheximide, while UV does affect the outgrowth of membranellar cilia during the more elaborate process of oral regeneration in this ciliate, and cycloheximide prolongs the UV effect. These results suggest that direct damage to outgrowing ciliary shafts cannot explain the UV sensitivity of oral regeneration.
