Phylogenomic tree of Cercozoa based on single-cell transcriptomes from 100 uncultured cells [PDF]

BMC Biology
Background Cercozoa are single-celled eukaryotes (protists) and are part of the supergroup Rhizaria. Cercozoans have vastly different morphologies and are defined by their phylogenetic affinity.

Taxonomic and Functional Diversity of Heterotrophic Protists (Cercozoa and Endomyxa) from Biological Soil Crusts

Microorganisms, 2021
Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) accommodate diverse communities of phototrophic and heterotrophic microorganisms. Heterotrophic protists have critical roles in the microbial food webs of soils, with Cercozoa and Endomyxa often being dominant groups ...

Heterogeneous responses of soil microbial communities and functions in coastal wetlands to long-term nitrogen deposition [PDF]

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes
Global nitrogen (N) deposition, a major consequence of climate change, has profound impacts on soil microbes, yet comparative studies investigating the effects of different N types and levels on diverse soil microorganisms and their ecological functions ...

Fungi and cercozoa regulate methane-associated prokaryotes in wetland methane emissions

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Wetlands are natural sources of methane (CH4) emissions, providing the largest contribution to the atmospheric CH4 pool. Changes in the ecohydrological environment of coastal salt marshes, especially the surface inundation level, cause instability in the

The First Record and Classification of Planktonic Radiolarian (Phylum Retaria) and Phaeodarian (Phylum Cercozoa) in the Eastern Indian Ocean

Biology, 2021
Siliceous planktonic species of the phyla Retaria and Cercozoa were investigated from the surface to a 200 m depth around the eastern Indian Ocean (80.00°–96.10° E, 10.08° N–6.00° S) during a 2-month cruise (10 April–13 May 2014).

The Puzzle of Metabolite Exchange and Identification of Putative Octotrico Peptide Repeat Expression Regulators in the Nascent Photosynthetic Organelles of Paulinella chromatophora

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The endosymbiotic acquisition of mitochondria and plastids more than one billion years ago was central for the evolution of eukaryotic life. However, owing to their ancient origin, these organelles provide only limited insights into the initial stages of

Community dynamics of microbial eukaryotes in intertidal mudflats in the hypertidal Bay of Fundy

ISME Communications, 2023
Protists (microbial eukaryotes) are a critically important but understudied group of microorganisms. They are ubiquitous, represent most of the genetic and functional diversity among eukaryotes, and play essential roles in nutrient and energy cycling ...

Contrasting Responses of Protistan Plant Parasites and Phagotrophs to Ecosystems, Land Management and Soil Properties

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Functional traits are increasingly used in ecology to link the structure of microbial communities to ecosystem processes. We investigated two important protistan lineages, Cercozoa and Endomyxa (Rhizaria) in soil using Illumina sequencing and analyzed ...
