title: [Correlations between salinity-persistence of ciliate species and their constitutive heat shock protein of 70 kDa contents].
abstract: Our own studies of alterations in the level of constitutive heat shock protein of 70 kDa family (Hsp70) in freshwater (Paramecium jenningsi), meta-freshwater (Tetrahymena pyriformis) and curyhaline (P. nephridiatum) ciliates acclimated to salt-water and fresh-water medium were reviewed. It has been shown that the level of constitutive Hsp70 content correlates with the salinity-resistance of ciliate species: in P. jenning i it was lower in freshwater, than in marine water, in euryhaline P. nephridiatum it was higher in freshwater, than in marine water, and was more or less stable in T. pyriformis, the ciliate that occupies intermediate position between two mentioned above species according its salinity-resistance. The ecological importance of constitutive heat shock protein level is discussed in the context of salinity adaptations studies.
