Circadian rhythms and circadian clock gene homologs of complex alga Chromera velia
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Most organisms on Earth are affected by periodic changes in their environment. The circadian clock is an endogenous device that synchronizes behavior, physiology, or biochemical processes to an approximately 24-hour cycle, allowing organisms to ...

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2021 Colpodella species are free living bi-flagellated protists that prey on algae and bodonids in a process known as myzocytosis. Colpodella species are phylogenetically related to Apicomplexa. We investigated the life cycle of Colpodella sp. (ATCC 50594) to
