<i>Vampyrella crystallifera</i> sp. nov., an Amoeba That Dissolves Entire Algal Cells at a Remarkable Speed. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe 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

TRB proteins in moss reveal their evolutionarily conserved roles in plant development and telomere maintenance. [PDF]
Plant JSignificance Statement TRB proteins in the moss P. patens are essential for normal development, telomere maintenance, and transcriptional regulation. Our findings demonstrate the evolutionary conservation of TRB functions across land plants and highlight their ancient origin in streptophytes.

Petra Mutinová Master's thesis, Prague, 2015 Abstract It has been always assumed, and frequently reported, that host plants, as biologically active substrates, should have a direct influence on associated epiphyton. However, some studies favoured

Trakya University Journal of Natural Sciences, 2021 Although planktonic algae are a basic component of freshwater ecosystems, studies on their diversity and species distribution are still not in satisfactory numbers. This study aims to contribute to Turkish freshwater algal flora particularly with the new

The vampyrellid amoeba <i>Strigomyxa ruptor</i> gen. et sp. nov. and its remarkable strategy to acquire algal cell contents. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe 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 ...
