Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Planktonic ciliates are an important component of microzooplankton, but there is limited understanding of their responses to changing environmental conditions in the Pacific Arctic Region. We investigated the variations of ciliate community structure and

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014 Symbioses between chemoautotrophic sulfur-oxidizing (thiotrophic) bacteria and protists or animals are among the most diverse and prevalent in the ocean. They are extremely difficult to maintain in aquaria and no thiotrophic symbiosis involving an animal

Epigenetic inheritance in ciliates [PDF]
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2009 2009 marks not only the 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth but also publication of the first scientific evolutionary theory, Lamarck's Philosophie Zoologique. While Lamarck embraced the notion of the inheritance of acquired characters, he did not invent it (Burkhardt, 1984).

Ciliate diversity and behavioural observations from the chemoautotrophic cave ecosystem of Frasassi, (Marche region, Italy) [PDF]
, 2015 Chemoautotrophic cave organisms require specific adaptations to tolerate the stress of living in extreme environmental conditions, such as darkness, nutrient and energy limitations, low temperatures (12-13°C), highly variable sulphide concentrations ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012 Simultaneous use of both heterotrophic and autotrophic metabolism (mixotrophy) is common among protists. Strombidium rassoulzadegani is a planktonic mixotrophic marine ciliate that saves chloroplasts from its algal food and obtains a nutritional subsidy

Scientific Reports, 2022 Planktonic ciliates are major components of pelagic food webs in both marine and freshwaters. Their population dynamics are controlled ‘bottom-up’ by prey availability and ‘top-down’ by microcrustacean predators.

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2021 Ciliates contain two kinds of nuclei: the germline micronucleus (MIC) and the somatic macronucleus (MAC) in a single cell. The MAC usually have fragmented chromosomes.

Distribution of Abundant and Active Planktonic Ciliates in Coastal and Slope Waters Off New England
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Despite their important role of linking microbial and classic marine food webs, data on biogeographical patterns of microbial eukaryotic grazers are limited, and even fewer studies have used molecular tools to assess active (i.e., those expressing genes)
