Abstract
Encystment is a reversible cell differentiation process that also requires an antagonistic process, i.e. excystment. Both processes are genetically encoded. Encystment is of common occurrence among free-living ciliates and may serve several different purposes. In some ciliates, this process is part of the regular life cycle (reproductive cyst), while many other ciliates undergo encystment when environmental conditions become adverse (resting...
