The microaerophilic flagellate Giardia intestinalis: oxygen and its reaction products collapse membrane potential and cause cytotoxicity

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on microaerophilic flagellate parasitic protozoon Giardia intestinalis which can detoxify O (sub)2. The authors have investigated the limits of O (sub)2 tolerance of this microorganism and have characterized the functional and structural consequences of reactive O (sub)2 species accumulation.

The antioxidant potential of pyruvate in the amitochondriate diplomonads Giardia intestinalis and Hexamita inflata

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on the microaerophilic protozoa Giardia intestinalis and Hexamita inflata. The ability of the pyruvate which is the central component of these protozoa's energy metabolism to act as a physiological antioxidant has been investigated and the results are reported.
