Diversity and varying predation capacities of Amoebozoa against opportunistic vibrios in contrasting Mediterranean coastal environments [PDF]

bioRxiv
Free-living amoebae (FLA) are ubiquitous and can be found in many types of environments including soil, freshwater, air and marine environments. They feed on various microorganisms and can play an important role in the food web and its dynamics.

First records of nivicolous myxomycetes (Amoebozoa) from Kazakhstan.

European Journal of Protistology
We present the first survey of nivicolous myxomycetes (plasmodial slime molds, Amoebozoa) conducted in Kazakhstan, specifically from the Ile-Alatau mountain range near Almaty. A total of 82 specimens were collected, and 16 species were identified using a

Thin film structural color is widespread in slime molds (Myxomycetes, Amoebozoa). [PDF]

Optics Express
Brilliant colors in nature arise from the interference of light with periodic nanostructures resulting in structural color. While such biological photonic structures have long attracted interest in insects and plants, they are little known in other ...

Phylogeny and Systematics of Leptomyxid Amoebae (Amoebozoa, Tubulinea, Leptomyxida) [PDF]

Protist, 2017
We describe four new species of Flabellula, Leptomyxa and Rhizamoeba and publish new SSU rRNA gene and actin gene sequences of leptomyxids. Using these data we provide the most comprehensive SSU phylogeny of leptomyxids to date. Based on the analyses of morphological data and results of the SSU rRNA gene phylogeny we suggest changes in the systematics ...

Assessing Species Delimitation in <i>Entamoeba</i> (Amoebozoa: Endamoebidae) Using the Small Subunit rRNA Gene: Its Application to the <i>Entamoeba polecki</i> Complex. [PDF]

Microorganisms
In this study, we address the criteria for the identification of species and subspecific categories (ribosomal lineages) within the genus Entamoeba using an evolutionary species concept and an integrative taxonomic framework, in which genetic evidence ...

Two new records of Myxomycetes (Amoebozoa) from the tropical Andes

Revista Peruana de Biología
Recent studies of Myxomycetes have revealed a high diversity of species in tropical environments; however, there are still large gaps in the information available for the Neotropics.

De novo transcriptome dataset of a Mayorella species isolated from deep seaNCBI [PDF]

Data in Brief
Mayorella marianaensis (Amoebozoa: Discosea) was the only Mayorella species isolated from deep sea (over 3000 m-depth). We firstly present a transcriptomic analysis of the non-model amoeba species collected from the Mariana Trench area.

Omics of an Enigmatic Marine Amoeba Uncovers Unprecedented Gene Trafficking from Giant Viruses and Provides Insights into Its Complex Life Cycle

Microbiology Research, 2023
Amoebozoa include lineages of diverse ecology, behavior, and morphology. They are assumed to encompass members with the largest genome sizes of all living things, yet genomic studies in the group are limited. Trichosphaerium, a polymorphic, multinucleate,

Cdc42/Rac Interactive Binding Containing Effector Proteins in Unicellular Protozoans With Reference to Human Host: Locks of the Rho Signaling

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Small GTPases are the key to actin cytoskeleton signaling, which opens the lock of effector proteins to forward the signal downstream in several cellular pathways. Actin cytoskeleton assembly is associated with cell polarity, adhesion, movement and other
