New records of Myxomycetes from Peru [PDF]

Check List, 2020
We report 19 species of Myxomycetes for first time in Peru. Macbrideola spinispora L.M. Walker, G. Moreno & S.L. Stephenson, previously known only from the type collection from Costa Rica, is now reported for South America,&nbsp ...

NAD9/NAD7 (mitochondrial nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide dehydrogenase gene): A new “Holy Grail” phylogenetic and DNA-barcoding marker for Arcellinida (Amoebozoa)? [PDF]

, 2017
Molecular phylogeny is an indispensable tool for assessing evolutionary relationships among protists. The most commonly used marker is the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene, a conserved gene present in many copies in the nuclear genomes.

Comprehensive phylogenetic reconstruction of amoebozoa based on concatenated analyses of SSU-rDNA and actin genes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Evolutionary relationships within Amoebozoa have been the subject of controversy for two reasons: 1) paucity of morphological characters in traditional surveys and 2) haphazard taxonomic sampling in modern molecular reconstructions.

Myxomycete diversity in a humid montane forest on the eastern slopes of the Peruvian Andes [PDF]

Plant Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Background – The humid montane forests on the eastern slopes of the Peruvian Andes are known for their high biodiversity and natural resources. While their incredibly rich plant and animal communities are still in the process of being discovered, the ...

Morphological Description of Telaepolella tubasferens n. g., n. sp., Isolate ATCC© 50593™, a Filose Amoeba in the Gracilipodida, Amoebozoa [PDF]

, 2012
We describe the amoeboid isolate ATCC© 50593™ as a new taxon, Telaepolella tubasferens n. gen. n. sp. This multinucleated amoeba has filose pseudopods and is superficially similar to members of the vampyrellids (Rhizaria) such as Arachnula impatiens ...

Establishing the precise evolutionary history of a gene improves prediction of disease-causing missense mutations [PDF]

, 2016
PURPOSE: Predicting the phenotypic effects of mutations has become an important application in clinical genetic diagnostics. Computational tools evaluate the behavior of the variant over evolutionary time and assume that variations seen during the course

Phylogenetic evidence for a new genotype of Acanthamoeba (Amoebozoa, Acanthamoebida) [PDF]

Parasitology Research, 2010
Acanthamoeba are widespread free-living amoebae, able to cause infection in animals, with keratitis and granulomatous encephalitis as major diseases in humans. Recent developments in the subgenus classification are based on the determination of the nucleotide sequence of the 18S rDNA.

Functional Characterisation of Microbial Communities Related to Black Stain Formation in Lascaux Cave. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
Excessive anthropization can lead to black stain alterations on cave walls. The present work reports the first metagenomic analysis of black stains threatening artwork in Lascaux Cave. Findings show new microbial taxa and genetic potential associated with black stains.

Myxomycetes of the Atlantic Rainforest: species on the ground litter from Pedra Talhada Biological Reserve (Alagoas, Brazil) [PDF]

Rodriguésia, 2023
The Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest is considered one of the world biodiversity hotspots, with high levels of endemism. Studies on the myxobiota of Atlantic Rainforest have been carried out mainly in the Northeast region of Brazil but the ground litter ...

Phylogenetic position of Multicilia marina and the evolution of Amoebozoa

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2006
Recent molecular phylogenetic studies have led to the erection of the phylum Amoebozoa, uniting naked and testate lobose amoebae, the mycetozoan slime moulds and amitochondriate amoeboid protists (Archamoebae). Molecular data together with ultrastructural evidence have suggested a close relationship between Mycetozoa and Archamoebae, classified ...
