Taxonomy and Phylogeny of Two Spirotrichean Ciliates (Alveolata, Protista, and Ciliophora) From a Plateau Saline–Alkaline Lake in Tibet, China, Including Description of a New Species

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
There are few researches concerning ciliates from “extreme” environments such as plateau salt lakes; nevertheless, such a faunistic survey is of great significance for understanding the diversity and biogeography of these microeukaryotes.

Phytoplankton Community Dynamic: A Driver for Ciliate Trophic Strategies

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Phytoplankton plays a key role as primary producers and mediating biogeochemical cycles in the water column. The understanding of the temporal dynamic of primary grazers channeling energy and carbon from primary producers is important for evaluating ...

An autumn biodiversity survey on heterotrophic and mixotrophic protists along a coast-to-offshore transect in the Gulf of Naples (Italy)

Advances in Oceanography and Limnology, 2021
Plankton communities include both unicellular and multicellular organisms. An important unicellular component is represented by those protists (i.e., unicellular eukaryotes) that consume bacteria, other protists, and even small animals.

Exploration of the Germline Genome of the Ciliate Chilodonella uncinata through Single-Cell Omics (Transcriptomics and Genomics)

mBio, 2018
Separate germline and somatic genomes are found in numerous lineages across the eukaryotic tree of life, often separated into distinct tissues (e.g., in plants, animals, and fungi) or distinct nuclei sharing a common cytoplasm (e.g., in ciliates and some

Diverse modes of reproduction in the marine free-living ciliate Glauconema trihymene

BMC Microbiology, 2010
Background Most free-living ciliates reproduce by equal fission or budding during vegetative growth. In certain ciliates, reproduction occurs inside the cyst wall, viz.
