Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 72, Issue 3, May/June 2025.ABSTRACT Mitochondria of eukaryotic cells are direct descendants of an endosymbiotic bacterium related to Alphaproteobacteria. These organelles retain their own genomes, which are highly reduced and divergent when compared to those of their bacterial relatives.

Essential Role for an M17 Leucine Aminopeptidase in Encystation of Acanthamoeba castellanii. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Encystation of Acanthamoeba leads to the formation of resilient cysts from vegetative trophozoites. This process is essential for parasite survival under unfavorable conditions such as starvation, low temperatures, and exposure to biocides.

Environmental factors affecting encystment of P.F.L.A. together with disinfection studies: a thesis is presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Microbiology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
, 1986 Free living amoebae from the genera Naegleria and Acanthamoeba have been implicated in fatal and several non-fatal infections of the human central nervous system, and other organs. They can be isolated from a worldwide range of environments.

Advanced Materials, Volume 37, Issue 12, March 26, 2025.Biological systems are very responsive to changes in stiffness, influencing important processes, and diseases in humans. Here, a novel method to dynamically and reversibly control hydrogel stiffness through interactions with poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) is presented. By exposing hydrogels to PEG solutions at different concentrations and sizes, hydrogel

Prevalence and diversity of Chlamydiales and other amoeba-resisting bacteria in domestic drinking water systems. [PDF]
, 2016 A growing number of human infections incriminate environmental bacteria that have evolved virulent mechanisms to resist amoebae and use them as a replicative niche. These bacteria are designated amoeba-resisting bacteria (ARB).

Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 57, Issue 2, Page 441-448, March 2025.Abstract Background Contagious equine metritis (CEM) is caused by Taylorella equigenitalis. It is a venereal disease that is detected in some breeds more than others and can cause temporary infertility with substantial costs for regular testing, sanitation and retesting. There was a perceived increase in T.

Novel insights into the potential role of ion transport in sensory perception in Acanthamoeba
Parasites & Vectors, 2019 Background Acanthamoeba is well known to produce a blinding keratitis and serious brain infection known as encephalitis. Effective treatment is problematic, and can continue up to a year, and even then, recurrence can ensue.

Adhesion forces and mechanics in mannose-mediated acanthamoeba interactions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The human pathogenic amoeba Acanthamoeba castellanii (A. castellanii) causes severe diseases, including acanthamoeba keratitis and encephalitis. Pathogenicity arises from the killing of target-cells by an extracellular killing mechanism, where the ...

Temporal Changes in the Role of Species Sorting and Evolution Determine Community Dynamics
Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 1, January 2025.Evolutionary change within community members and shifts in species composition contribute to community and trait dynamics. To integrate when and how both processes structure communities, we estimated the contributions of species sorting and evolution over time (60 days) in bacterial communities of 24 species under selection by a ciliate predator ...
