Ureotelism and ammonotelism in trypanosomatids.
N Yoshida and
E P Camargo
ABSTRACT
According to their genera, trypanosomatids excrete urea, ammonia, or both. Species of Herpetomonas and Trypanosoma are ammonotelic. Species of Leishmania, Leptomonas, Crithidia, and Blastocrithidia can be ureotelic, ammonotelic, or both, depending on growth media composition.
