Acanthamoeba castellanii Can Facilitate Plasmid Transfer Between Environmental Pseudomonas spp
Journal of Basic Microbiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The conditions in which antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes are transferred in natural environments are poorly understood. Acanthamoeba castellanii (a cosmopolitan environmental amoeba) feeds on bacteria by phagocytosis, which places the consumed bacteria closely together in a food vacuole (phagosome) of the amoeba.

Evolutionary Dynamics of Giant Viruses and their Virophages [PDF]
, 2013 Giant viruses contain large genomes, encode many proteins atypical for viruses, replicate in large viral factories, and tend to infect protists. The giant virus replication factories can in turn be infected by so called virophages, which are smaller ...
