Metabolic pathway redundancy within the apicomplexan-dinoflagellate radiation argues against an ancient chromalveolate plastid

open access: yesCommunicative & Integrative Biology, 2016
The chromalveolate hypothesis presents an attractively simple explanation for the presence of red algal-derived secondary plastids in 5 major eukaryotic lineages: “chromista” phyla, cryptophytes, haptophytes and ochrophytes; and alveolate phyla ...

Limited Dispersal of Benthic Environmental DNA From a Subtropical Mesophotic Shelf‐Edge Bank

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 5, September–October 2025.
We investigated the vertical and horizontal dispersion of eDNA away from an isolated mesophotic coral reef (Bright Bank) in stratified offshore waters. We found that vertical transport of benthic eDNA was limited by water column stratification and that the prevalence of eDNA from benthic invertebrates declined with horizontal distance away from the ...

Metabarcoding Primers for Indo‐Pacific Fishes

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 5, September–October 2025.
We compared the relative performance of five metabarcoding primers (Berry 16S, Riaz 12S, MiFish E 12S, MiFish U 12S, and Leray CO1) to recover Indo‐Pacific fish taxa. We tested the primers using template DNA from three types of samples: (1) mock communities of tissue‐based DNA extractions, (2) a semi‐natural aquarium tank, and (3) a tropical coral reef

Automated identification of soil Fungi and Chromista through Convolutional Neural Networks

open access: yesEngineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence
The identification of soil microorganisms plays a crucial role in agriculture and horticulture, as it enables the monitoring of beneficial species and early detection of pathogens. In this study, we propose a system that utilizes machine vision and machine learning techniques, specifically Convolutional Neural Networks, to automate the identification ...

White rust species (Chromista, Peronosporomycetes, Albuginales, Albuginaceae) on common weeds in Hungary

open access: yesActa Agraria Debreceniensis, 2015
The obligate plant parasite fungi in the family Albuginaceae are responsible for causing white rust diseases on weeds and they are rather common worldwide. Weedy plants with characteristic symptoms have been collected in 2014 and 2015 on location Hajdú-Bihar and Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok counties in Hungary.

The chromista [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
As a group, the chromists show a diverse range of forms from tiny unicellular, flagellates to the large brown algae known as kelp. Molecular studies have confirmed the inclusion of certain organisms once considered Fungi, as well as some heterotrophic ...

Biocidal Activity of Multicomponent Magnetron-Sputtered Glass Coatings Against Pathogenic Fungi and the Chromista Phytophthora infestans

open access: yesAgronomy
The antimicrobial activity of multicomponent, magnetron-sputtered glass coatings was evaluated against phytopathogenic fungi (Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium oxysporum, Cladosporium fulvum, Alternaria solani) and the chromista Phytophthora infestans, with ...

Isolation and Characterization of the Colletotrichum acutatum ABC Transporter CaABC1

open access: yesThe Plant Pathology Journal, 2014
Fungi tolerate exposure to various abiotic stresses, including cytotoxic compounds and fungicides, via their ATP-driven efflux pumps belonging to ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters.

The significance of silica structures in chromist microorganisms. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The silica is one of the most common elements in the Earth's crust. During erosion it is released in soluble form to the environment, where some organisms can accumulate the silica and incorporate it to their bodies by biosilicification process.
