Summary

It is shown that Tetrahymena cells exert increased membrane‐bound vacuoles characteristic of autophagosomes followed by massive cell death after exposure to hydrogen peroxide, and analyses of cells treated with chloroquine or wortmannin show a parallel suppression of Autophagy associated with increased autophagic cell death in the presence of caspase inhibitors.
