I have a water sample that has Paramecium combined with others protozoa and dirt; I need to isolate and purify the Paramecium from all of these stuff.
Hi Ahmed
Just isolate the Paramecia with a micropipette (the 20 microL).
Suck it in and then put it in a separate tube.
If you have no bacteria culture to feed the P
then just give a little bit of yeast to the tube.
In case you just begin to breed P write me an email
and I will tell you more or read method sections in
papers of mine in Parasitology or Proc Royal Soc.
Best wishes

Thanks Dr. Daniel for your help. I will try to do it, i will breed P using algae (Chlorella).
Again i appreciate your hep and i will email you if i have any further questions.
Ahmed
If P is big enough you may see the feeding vacuoles within them. Then you will know that your food is good for P.
Besides: Which Paramecium are you looking at.
P. caudatum I am working with is about 0.25 mm long - a huge cell though.
Best, Daniel
Dr. Daniel,
I'm trying to isolate P. bursaria. I saw the food vacuoles which was green in color which means it breeds on algae.
Thanks,
Thanks for letting me know.
I wish you all the best with your experiments.

Instead of checking only the mRNA level, I want to check the active protein level of MMP-1 in Liver tissue from mice. How can I do that?
