Towards understanding the extensive diversity of protein N-glycan structures in eukaryotes. [PDF]
ABSTRACT N‐glycosylation is an important post‐translational modification of proteins that has been highly conserved during evolution and is found in Eukaryota, Bacteria and Archaea. In eukaryotes, N‐glycan processing is sequential, involving multiple specific steps within the secretory pathway as proteins travel through the endoplasmic reticulum and ...

<i>Vampyrella crystallifera</i> sp. nov., an Amoeba That Dissolves Entire Algal Cells at a Remarkable Speed. [PDF]
The new vampyrellid amoeba Vampyrella crystallifera inhabits wet Sphagnum plants in temperate moorlands. Unlike its congeners, it engulfs entire algal cells and breaks them down at a fascinating speed. This represents a feeding habit that was unexpected for the genus Vampyrella and showcases the exceptional diversity of predator–prey interactions found

The vampyrellid amoeba Strigomyxa ruptor gen. et sp. nov. and its remarkable strategy to acquire algal cell contents. [PDF]
The new vampyrellid amoeba Strigomyxa ruptor phagocytizes algal cells and opens them internally to extract the cell contents. Afterward, the algal cell walls are discarded through a “waste vacuole.” This sophisticated feeding strategy, here termed “internal protoplast extraction and cell wall regurgitation,” exemplifies the extraordinary complexity of ...

Genetic and morphological variation in the genus Zygogonium (Zygnematophyceae, Charophyta) from localities in Europe and North America and description of Z. angustum, sp. nov. [PDF]
Abstract The globally distributed genus Zygogonium exhibits a narrow environmental range, with 19 morphologically described species. Its molecular characterization is poor, based on a single accession of the type species Z. ericetorum from Austria.

ParAquaSeq, a Database of Ecologically Annotated rRNA Sequences Covering Zoosporic Parasites Infecting Aquatic Primary Producers in Natural and Industrial Systems. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Amplicon sequencing tools such as metabarcoding are commonly used for thorough characterisation of microbial diversity in natural samples. They mostly rely on the amplification of conserved universal markers, mainly ribosomal genes, allowing the taxonomic assignment of barcodes.

Electroporation‐based delivery of proteins in Penium margaritaceum and other zygnematophycean algae
Abstract Zygnematophycean algae represent the streptophyte group identified as the closest sister clade to land plants. Their phylogenetic position and growing genomic resources make these freshwater algae attractive models for evolutionary studies in the context of plant terrestrialization.

Abstract Streptophyte algae are the closest relatives to land plants; their latest common ancestor performed the most drastic adaptation in plant evolution around 500 million years ago: the conquest of land. Besides other adaptations, this step required changes in cell wall composition.

In the fish farming station, algae specific richness varies according to the water collection point (rearing pond, evacuation canal and decantation pond). Algae contribute differentially to fish diets: biomass is mostly used by Nile Tilapia (herbivorous) than African catfish (omnivorous).
