Check-list of microscopic protosteloid amoebae from the Southwest of Europe [PDF]
Anales del Jardín Botánico de Madrid, 2012 A biodiversity survey for protosteloid amoebae was carried out in Spain, Portugal and France between 2005 and 2010. Samples were collected from three different microhabitats – aerial litter, ground litter, and bark of living plants – in a total of 97 ...

A landscape of gene regulation in the parasitic amoebozoa Entamoeba spp.
PLoS ONE, 2022 Entamoeba are amoeboid extracellular parasites that represent an important group of organisms for which the regulatory networks must be examined to better understand how genes and functional processes are interrelated.

The emerging picture of the mitochondrial protein import complexes of Amoebozoa supergroup [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2017 Background The existence of mitochondria-related organelles (MROs) is proposed for eukaryotic organisms. The Amoebozoa includes some organisms that are known to have mitosomes but also organisms that have aerobic mitochondria.

A Novel Protistan Trait Database Reveals Functional Redundancy and Complementarity in Terrestrial Protists (Amoebozoa and Rhizaria). [PDF]
Mol Ecol ResourABSTRACT The inclusion of functional traits of protists in environmental sequencing surveys, in addition to the traditional taxonomic framework, is essential for a better understanding of their roles and impacts on ecosystem processes. We provide a database of functional traits for a widespread and important clade of protists—the Amoebozoa—based on ...

Protistan Predators Outshine Fungi in Forest Soil Activity. [PDF]
J Eukaryot MicrobiolABSTRACT Despite extensive research on fungal communities in forest soils, our understanding of the whole eukaryotic diversity and distribution remains limited. Moreover, traditional amplicon sequencing methods often introduce severe PCR and primer biases, further hindering accurate assessment of the microbial community composition in forest soils.

Checklist of Myxomycetes (Amoebozoa) of the Polish Tatra Mts
Acta MycologicaThe Tatra Mts are the highest mountain range in the Carpathians and are an important biodiversity region for many organisms. Plants, animals, and fungi are better studied in this region, while myxomycetes still remain understudied.

Reassessing Interkingdom Horizontal Gene Transfer Suggests Limited Influence on Plant Genomes. [PDF]
Ecol EvolHorizontal gene transfer (HGT) has been proposed as an important contributor to plant genome evolution, with hundreds of candidate genes reported across kingdoms. By reanalyzing published cases with updated genomic data and phylogenetic reconstructions, we found that only 29.3% remain consistent with interkingdom HGT.

Impact on Plankton Communities Following Abandonment of Rice Cultivation and Biotope Creation. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study clarified changes in plankton communities during the first year of fallow in long‐term cultivated paddy fields in Kyoto. These fields were in a fallow state, with no planting, cultivation, or fertilization occurring. When water was introduced at the same time of year as during active use and the fields were converted into biotopes, diversity

Comparing the Dictyostelium and Entamoeba Genomes Reveals an Ancient Split in the Conosa Lineage.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2005 The Amoebozoa are a sister clade to the fungi and the animals, but are poorly sampled for completely sequenced genomes. The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum and amitochondriate pathogen Entamoeba histolytica are the first Amoebozoa with genomes ...
