Simple mechanosense and response of cilia motion reveal the intrinsic habits of ciliates
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018 Significance Single-celled microorganisms are important in ecosystems, and their behaviors impact the Earth’s environments. To survive in harsh environments, these organisms frequently act as though exercising discretion.

Prevalence of partnerships between bacteria and ciliates in oxygen-depleted marine water columns
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012 Symbioses between Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya in deep-sea marine environments represent a means for eukaryotes to exploit otherwise inhospitable habitats.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Ciliates represent higher unicellular animals, and several species are also important model organisms for molecular biology research. Analyses of codon usage bias (CUB) of the macronuclear (MAC) genome in ciliates can not only promote a better ...

Anaerobic ciliates as a model group for studying symbioses in oxygen‐depleted environments
Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, 2022 Anaerobiosis has independently evolved in multiple lineages of ciliates, allowing them to colonize a variety of anoxic and oxygen‐depleted habitats. Anaerobic ciliates commonly form symbiotic relationships with various prokaryotes, including methanogenic

Ecology of planktonic ciliates in a changing world: Concepts, methods, and challenges
Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, 2021 Plankton ecologists ultimately focus on forecasting, both applied and environmental outcomes. We review how appreciating planktonic ciliates has become central to these predictions. We explore the 350‐year‐old canon on planktonic ciliates and examine its

Ciliates (Alveolata, Ciliophora) as bioindicators of environmental pressure: A karstic river case
, 2021 Ciliates are single celled eukaryotes recognized as key players in the microbial loop of aquatic ecosystems. The present study was carried out on the Krka River (Croatia), a karst freshwater ecosystem characterized by tufa barriers, biomineralization and

Prevalent ciliate symbiosis on copepods: high genetic diversity and wide distribution detected using small subunit ribosomal RNA gene. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Toward understanding the genetic diversity and distribution of copepod-associated symbiotic ciliates and the evolutionary relationships with their hosts in the marine environment, we developed a small subunit ribosomal RNA gene (18S rDNA)-based molecular

Diversity, 2022 Coral reefs in the Caribbean are known to be affected by many coral diseases, yet the ecology and etiology of most diseases remain understudied. The Caribbean ciliate infection (CCI) caused by ciliates belonging to the genus Halofolliculina is a common ...
