[Biomechanical aspects of the process of formation of food vacuoles in the infusoria Bursaria truncatella under changed gravity].

Results from clinostatic and centrifugal laboratory experiments in which there has been evaluated an activity of digestive process in infusoria Bursaria truncatella by the content of vacuole numbers and its change in the cell under changed gravity are presented. It is indicated that the extended clinostatic exposure of infusoria stimulates their digestive activity and an increased gravity (centrifugation 2 g, 5 g) inhibits this process. In these examinations, an effort was made to explain the obtained results started from the propositions of cell biomechanics and bioenergetics. The mechanisms of gravity influence on this process have been proposed.
