ABSTRACT Telonemia is a fascinating and understudied group of microbial eukaryotes known to have a vast diversity that is still uncharacterized. In fact, although their phylogenetic position is still actively debated, their diversity and biology are largely unexplored: to date, there are only seven described species in three genera, although there are ...

Confirmation of the wide host range of Parvilucifera corolla (Alveolata, Perkinsozoa)
Marine parasites of the genus Parvilucifera have been described as endoparasitoids of dinoflagellates. Recently, the species Parvilucifera corolla was described, but its host range was not examined. Here, the host selectivity of P. corolla was screened, including 110 strains of dinoflagellates (24 genera) and other microalgal groups as potential hosts.

Feeding mechanism of the polychaete Sabellaria alveolata revisited: comment on Dubois et al. (2005) [PDF]
ABSTRACT: Recently, Dubois et al. (2005; Mar Ecol Prog Ser 301:159–171) described the feedingmechanisms of the sabellariid polychaete Sabellaria alveolata and concluded that it is a ciliarysuspension feeder that uses alternately a downstream- and an upstream-collecting system. We re-investigated both the ciliated epithelia (scanning electron microscopy

ABSTRACT Understanding diet selection in threatened species is crucial for effective conservation planning, particularly where bushfires alter food availability and quality. In Australian eucalypt forests, Eucalyptus leaves are the primary food for several arboreal marsupials, such as the southern greater glider (Petauroides volans).

On the origin of TSAR: morphology, diversity and phylogeny of Telonemia
Telonemia is a poorly known major phylum of flagellated eukaryotes with a unique combination of morphological traits. Phylogenomics recently revealed the phylogenetic position of telonemids as sister to SAR, one of the largest groups of eukaryotes ...

Background Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) and thymidylate synthase (TS) are crucial enzymes in DNA synthesis. In alveolata both enzymes are expressed as one bifunctional enzyme.

Recombinant Proteins: A Molecular Tool to Understand Marine Adhesion and to Advance Biomaterials
The production of recombinant proteins represents a fundamental step in the characterisation of marine invertebrate adhesives and in the development of bio‐inspired glues. The association of these proteins with other components such as ions, proteins, polysaccharides, or polymers enables the fabrication of biomaterials for various healthcare ...

This study used environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding with 18S rRNA markers to assess microbial diversity in the Lantebung Mangrove Forest, Makassar, Indonesia. It identified 103 microbial species across five kingdoms, revealing higher species richness in open‐water areas (P1) and greater individual abundance under mangrove canopy (P2).

Lake Karla, Greece, was dried up in 1962 and its refilling started in 2009. We examined the Cyanobacteria and unicellular eukaryotes found during two fish kill incidents, in March and April 2010, in order to detect possible causative agents.
