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 ...

Phylogenetic analysis confirms the taxonomic placement of the marine flagellate Hermesinum adriaticum (Thecofilosea, Cercozoa, Rhizaria)

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, 2022
Hermesinum adriaticum is a rare marine and brackish flagellate that is of considerable interest due to its markable and fossilizable siliceous skeleton.

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 ...

Assembly Patterns of the Rhizosphere Microbiome Along the Longitudinal Root Axis of Maize (Zea mays L.)

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
It is by now well proven that different plant species within their specific root systems select for distinct subsets of microbiota from bulk soil – their individual rhizosphere microbiomes.

A Call for Research: A Resource of Core Microbial Symbionts of the Arabidopsis thaliana Microbiome Ready and Awaiting Experimental Exploration

Phytobiomes Journal, 2021
The characterization of specific subsets of soil microbiota in the rhizosphere and endosphere has led to the recognition of plant species-specific microbiomes. Most attention has been given to microbial prokaryotes and fungi. Only recently was convincing

Haplosporidium littoralis sp. nov.: a crustacean pathogen within the Haplosporida (Cercozoa, Ascetosporea) [PDF]

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2013
Previously, we described the pathology and ultrastructure of an apparently asporous haplosporidian-like parasite infecting the common shore crab Carcinus maenas from the European shoreline. In the current study, extraction of genomic DNA from the haemolymph, gill or hepatopancreas of infected C.

Making sense of environmental sequencing data: Ecologically important functional traits of the protistan groups Cercozoa and Endomyxa (Rhizaria)

Molecular Ecology Resources, 2020
We have compiled a database of functional traits for two widespread and ecologically important groups of protists, Cercozoa and Endomyxa (Rhizaria).

Micro-eukaryotic diversity in hypolithons from Miers Valley, Antarctica [PDF]

, 2013
The discovery of extensive and complex hypolithic communities in both cold and hot deserts has raised many questions regarding their ecology, biodiversity and relevance in terms of regional productivity.

Environmental DNA metabarcoding of intertidal meiofauna sheds light on its potential for habitat discovery

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Benthic meiofauna is a fundamental component of food webs and nutrient exchange of marine ecosystems. However, its diversity pattern and ecology of intertidal meiofauna remain poorly understood because the studies are often constrained by morphology ...
