Vampyrella crystallifera sp. nov., an Amoeba That Dissolves Entire Algal Cells at a Remarkable Speed [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe vampyrellid amoebae (Order Vampyrellida, Rhizaria) comprise predatory microeukaryotes that inhabit freshwater, marine, and terrestrial habitats. They are known to consume a wide array of prey, which includes microalgae, fungi, and even microscopic ...

Chlorophytes response to habitat complexity and human disturbance in the catchment of small and shallow aquatic systems [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Human-originated transformation in the catchment area may be reflected in the water quality and ecological state of the aquatic environment. Chlorophytes, the most common and diverse group of microalgae, may be a valuable tool for studies of small water ...

The vampyrellid amoeba Strigomyxa ruptor 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 ...

Biogeographical Distribution of River Microbial Communities in Atlantic Catchments. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepWe discovered different factors affecting river microbial communities (RMC) diversity and composition across Atlantic catchments in Europe. Prokaryote diversity was mainly influenced by topography and geology, while eukaryotic groups were driven by land use and cover.

Temperature-dependent responses to light and nutrients in phytoplankton. [PDF]
EcologyAbstract Nutrients and light are major resources controlling growth, biomass, and community structure of phytoplankton. When looking at those resources individually, resource uptake and biochemical transformation, and thereby also the demand for resources, have been shown to be temperature‐dependent.

A diverse group of underappreciated zygnematophytes deserves in-depth exploration
Applied Phycology, 2022 The conjugating green algae (Zygnematophyceae) are the closest relatives of land plants and hence are of great evolutionary interest. Besides the popular placoderm desmids and the filamentous species, there is an underappreciated diversity of unicellular
