Database Release: PPSDB, a Linked Open Data Knowledge Base for Protist–Prokaryote Symbioses
Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 72, Issue 6, November/December 2025.ABSTRACT As the ecological and evolutionary importance of symbiotic interactions between protists (microbial eukaryotes) and prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) is better appreciated, keeping an overview of their diversity and the literature becomes a growing and ongoing challenge.

In Vitro Stability of the Biological Activity of Voriconazole against Acanthamoeba castellanii
Parasitologia, 2023 Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) is a rare cornea disease caused by species of the Acanthamoeba genus. The antifungal voriconazole blocks the ergosterol synthesis in the protozoan membrane and is active against the cysts and trophozoites of Acanthamoeba spp ...

Tigecycline inhibits proliferation of Acanthamoeba castellanii
Parasitology Research, 2015 Acanthamoeba is an opportunistic protozoan parasite responsible for different diseases in humans, such as granulomatous amoebic encephalitis and amoebic keratitis. Tigecycline, a third-generation tetracycline antibiotic, has potential activity to treat most of the antibiotic resistant bacterial infections. The effects of tigecycline in eukaryotic cells

Encystation:the most prevalent and underinvestigated differentiation pathway of eukaryotes [PDF]
, 2018 Not long ago, protists were considered one of four eukaryote kingdoms, but recent gene-based phylogenies show that they contribute to all nine eukaryote subdomains.

Metabolic Profile Associated With Encystation in Acanthamoeba
Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 72, Issue 5, September/October 2025.ABSTRACT The genus Acanthamoeba includes widespread protozoa that can cause severe infections in humans. Their ability to form resistant cysts within infected tissues complicates treatment, making it essential to understand the encystation process for developing effective therapeutic strategies.
