Isolation and identification of free living amoeba (Naegleria and Acanthamoeba) in Shiraz water resources by morphological criteria

فصلنامه دانشگاه علوم پزشکی جهرم, 2012
Introduction: Free living amoebas are opportunistic pathogens that usually exist in different environmental conditions such as warm and polluted water, even in water supply networks and they could cause serious diseases in humans.

Adaptation to an amoeba host drives selection of virulence-associated traits and genetic variation in saprotrophic Candida albicans

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Amoebae are micropredators that play an important role in controlling fungal populations in ecosystems. However, the interaction between fungi and their amoebic predators suggests that the pressure from predatory selection can significantly influence the

Implicit Solvents for the Polarizable Atomic Multipole AMOEBA Force Field

, 2020
Computational protein design, ab initio protein/RNA folding, and protein-ligand screening can be too computationally demanding for explicit treatment of solvent.

Genome‐Wide In Silico Analysis of the Type VI Secretion System (T6SS) Within the Morganella Genus

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
▪ Species‐specific T6SS patterns among Morganella genus (M. morganii and M. sibonii). ▪ Only one‐third of M. morganii isolates haboured a T6SS. ▪ All M. sibonii possess four T6SS clusters. ▪ M. sibonii exhibited a wide diversity of effectors compared to M. morganii.

Development of a new pan-European testate amoeba transfer function for reconstructing peatland palaeohydrology

, 2016
In the decade since the first pan-European testate amoeba-based transfer function for peatland palaeohydrological reconstruction was published, a vast amount of additional data collection has been undertaken by the research community. Here, we expand the

Francisella novicida-Containing Vacuole within Dictyostelium discoideum: Isolation and Proteomic Characterization

Microorganisms
Francisella is a highly infectious gram-negative bacterium that causes tularemia in humans and animals. It can survive and multiply in a variety of cells, including macrophages, dendritic cells, amoebae, and arthropod-derived cells.

Predator–Microbe Dynamics Inform Strategies for Robust Synthetic Community Assembly

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 6, June 2026.
This Review introduces ecological principles of predator–prey interactions as a new dimension in SynCom design. By linking microbial defence traits, encounter dynamics, and adaptive buffering, it outlines a framework for constructing predator‐resistant synthetic communities with enhanced resilience, stability, and functional performance under natural ...

Cryptococcus neoformans Escape From Dictyostelium Amoeba by Both WASH-Mediated Constitutive Exocytosis and Vomocytosis

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018
Cryptococcus neoformans is an environmental yeast that can cause opportunistic infections in humans. As infecting animals does not form part of its normal life-cycle, it has been proposed that the virulence traits that allow cryptococci to resist immune ...
