Description of a New Telonemia Genus and Species With Novel Observations Providing Insights Into Its Hidden Diversity. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Telonemia is a fascinating and understudied group of microbial eukaryotes known to have a vast diversity that is still uncharacterized. In fact, although their phylogenetic position is still actively debated, their diversity and biology are largely unexplored: to date, there are only seven described species in three genera, although there are ...

The Nature of the Contractile Vacuole [PDF]
FOR some years we have been investigating the cytoplasmic bodies in the protozoa. In NATURE of March 10, 1923, we were able to give the first account of the stages undergone by the Golgi bodies in the sporozoon Adelea. A full account of this work has been published in the Q.J.M.S., vol. 67, Part III., 1923. More recently M. Ph.

Autophagic flux is required for the synthesis of triacylglycerols and ribosomal protein turnover in Chlamydomonas [PDF]
Autophagy is an intracellular catabolic process that allows cells to recycle unneeded or damaged material to maintain cellular homeostasis. This highly dynamic process is characterized by the formation of double-membrane vesicles called autophagosomes ...
