Lopes, Fabrício R, Silva, Joana C, Benchimol, Marlene, Costa, Gustavo GL, Pereira, Gonçalo AG, Carareto, Claudia MA
Abstract Background For three decades the Mutator system was thought to be exclusive of plants, until the first homolog representatives were characterized in fungi and in early-diverging amoebas...
Basic biology of Pneumocystis carinii - A Mini Review (2006)
Wanderley De Souza, Marlene Benchimol
Basic aspects of cell biology of Pneumocystis carinii are reviewed with major emphasis on its life cycle and the structural organization of the trophozoites and cyst forms. Initially considered as...
Basic biology of Pneumocystis carinii: a mini review (2005)
Souza,Wanderley De, Benchimol,Marlene
Basic aspects of cell biology of Pneumocystis carinii are reviewed with major emphasis on its life cycle and the structural organization of the trophozoites and cyst forms. Initially considered as a...
Abstract Hydrogenosome behavior during the cell cycle (2003)
Marlene Benchimol, Flávio Engelke
The hydrogenosome is an unusual organelle found in several trichomonad species and other protists living in oxygen poor or anoxic environments. The hydrogenosome behavior in the protist...
Fungal Hydrogenosomes Contain Mitochondrial Heat-Shock Proteins (2003)
Van Der Giezen, Mark, Birdsey, Graeme M., Horner, David S., Lucocq, John, Dyal, Patricia L., Benchimol, Marlene, ...
At least three groups of anaerobic eukaryotes lack mitochondria and instead contain hydrogenosomes, peculiar organelles that make energy and excrete hydrogen. Published data indicate that ciliate and...

Karla C. Ribeiro, Marlene Benchimol
Tritrichomonas foetus and Trichomonas vaginalis are protists that undergo closed mitosis: the nuclear envelope remains intact and the spindle remains extranuclear. Here we show, in disagreement with...
Lu, Hong-Gang, Zhong, Li, De Souza, Wanderley, Benchimol, Marlene, Moreno, Silvia, Docampo, Roberto
The survival of a eukaryotic protozoan as an obligate parasite in the interior of a eukaryotic host cell implies its adaptation to an environment with a very different ionic composition from that of...
Distribution of Anionic Groups at the Cell Surface of Different Sporothrix schenckii Cell Types
Benchimol, Marlene, De Souza, W., Travassos, L. R.
The distribution of anionic groups at the cell surface of yeastlike forms, hyphae, and conidia of Sporothrix schenckii was studied by staining with colloidal iron hydroxide and cationized ferritin....
Cardiolipin in Hydrogenosomes: Evidence of Symbiotic Origin
De Andrade Rosa, Ivone, Einicker-Lamas, Marcelo, Roney Bernardo, Róbson, Previatto, Lucia Mendonça, Mohana-Borges, Ronaldo, Morgado-Díaz, José Andrés, ...
Hydrogenosomes are found in organisms that lack typical mitochondria. Cardiolipin is a phospholipid located exclusively in bacterial membranes and the inner membrane of mitochondria. Here we show, by...
