Entry and Killing of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Tetrahymena thermophila</named-content> by Bacterially Produced Shiga Toxin
ABSTRACT Phage-encoded Shiga toxin (Stx) acts as a bacterial defense against the eukaryotic predator Tetrahymena thermophila. It is unknown how Stx enters Tetrahymena protozoa or how it kills them. Tetrahymena protozoa are phagocytotic; hence, Stx could gain entry to the cytoplasm through the oral a...
