Finally, we’ve solved a long-standing mystery: what tintinnid shells are actually made of:
A new class of biomaterial formed by remarkable structural proteins unique to tintinnids.
A major milestone after 3 years of work! Read about it in our preprint: doi.org/10.64898/202...

We recently investigated how much and when tintinnid ciliates produce shell material during the cell cycle to construct a new shell (lorica) after division: tinyurl.com/49usp8xw
We adapted a classical staining technique.
Still no #UExM for tintinnids dudinlab.bsky.social? (wink)#protistsonskyky

Tinntinid ciliates are known because of their remarkable and taxonomically relevant shells. Can you spot the #tintinnids we sampled in Villefranche-sur-Mer (visiting @tintinnman.bsky.social) among the other planktonic organisms?
Do you want to know how tintinnids build their shells?
