Key drivers influencing the colonization of periphytic ciliates and their functional role in hydrologically dynamic floodplain lake ecosystem

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2021
We investigated the colonization process and community dynamics of periphytic ciliates in a floodplain lake. To elucidate the functional role of ciliates, we investigated variations in their functional traits during colonization.

Network of Interactions Between Ciliates and Phytoplankton During Spring

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2015
The annually recurrent spring phytoplankton blooms in freshwater lakes initiate pronounced successions of planktonic ciliate species. Although there is considerable knowledge on the taxonomic diversity of these ciliates, their species-specific ...

Bioinspired Adaptive Surfaces for Intelligent Liquid Manipulation: Progressing From Passive and Active to Hybrid Strategies

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines passive, active, and hybrid liquid manipulation strategies, highlighting hybrid approaches as an emerging route to reconcile energy efficiency with adaptive control. By actively reconstructing passive surfaces to store programmable interfacial energy, hybrid systems enable flexible yet low‐power liquid transport, with perspectives ...

Involvement of Crawling and Attached Ciliates in the Aggregation of Particles in Wastewater Treatment Plants

open access: yes, 2008
The biological community in activated sludge wastewater plants is organized within this ecosystem as bioaggregates or flocs, in which the biotic component is embedded in a complex matrix comprised of extracellular polymeric substances mainly of microbial

Engineering Pluripotent Stem Cells‐Derived Inner Ear Organoids With Enhanced Maturation and Reproducibility by Micro‐Topographical Cues

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Micro‐topographical cues applied through temporally controlled microscale confinement improve the reproducibility, spatial organization, and neurosensory‐associated features of pluripotent stem cell‐derived inner ear organoids. Integration with a vascularized organoid platform further enables controlled investigation of vascular‐epithelial interactions

Morphological and molecular characterization of an undescribed vestibuliferid ciliate from the captive-bred naked mole-rat,

open access: yesInternational Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
The intestinal ciliates of the naked mole-rat ( Heterocephalus glaber ) remain poorly characterized. Previous reports identified a Balantidium or suggested an association with Meiostoma ; however, their taxonomic identities have not been verified using ...
