Impact of Fire and Heat Stress on Soil Microorganisms: A Review of Community Changes, Molecular Responses and Plant‐Beneficial Roles

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
This work reviewed the direct and indirect effects of fires on microbial communities and the resilience strategies microbes use to withstand high temperatures . ABSTRACT Fire, whether occurring on the surface or underground, significantly influences soil microbial dynamics by reshaping community composition, functional diversity and overall soil and ...

A phylogenetic survey of myotubularin genes of eukaryotes: distribution, protein structure, evolution, and gene expression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background Phosphorylated phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) lipids, produced and modified by PtdIns kinases and phosphatases, are critical to the regulation of diverse cellular functions.

Unveiling Protist Composition and Diversity Patterns With eDNA Metabarcoding: Comparing Short‐ and Long‐Read Approaches

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is widely used for biodiversity monitoring, but short‐read sequencing limits detailed taxonomic identification, especially for protists. In a comparison of short‐ and long‐read approaches in the Belgian North Sea, long‐read metabarcoding provided deeper taxonomic assignment under the applied workflows and improved

Genetic Determinism vs. Phenotypic Plasticity in Protist Morphology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Untangling the relationships between morphology and phylogeny is key to building a reliable taxonomy, but is especially challenging for protists, where the existence of cryptic or pseudocryptic species makes finding relevant discriminant traits difficult.

Plant Lipid Droplets and Derived Lipidic Nano‐Assemblies: Structure, Biogenesis and Pharmaceutical Applications

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1322-1343, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Lipid droplets (LDs) serve as the primary storage site for neutral lipids in plant cells, with growing evidence supporting many additional biological roles, such as in lipid homeostasis, signalling, trafficking, inflammatory responses and inter‐organelle communication.

Comparing Sediment and Water eDNA Metabarcoding for Monitoring Aquatic Biodiversity in a Plateau Lake

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.
Using multi‐locus eDNA metabarcoding of sediment and water samples collected from a plateau lake, this study systematically compared taxonomic diversity and community composition between the two sample types across the tree of life from archaea to mammals.

Dianema nivale – A Myxomycete (Amoebozoa) new to the Antarctic

open access: yesPolar Science, 2020
Abstract Myxomycetes (Protista - Amoebozoa) are worldwide distributed organisms, but still poorly known from the Antarctic. While working on fungi and similar organisms found in Stinker Point, Elephant Island - Antarctica in January/February 2018 we found 24 sporangia of Dianema nivale, which is cited for the first time to the Antarctica.
