Osmomixotrophy in Phytoplankton: Analysis of 46 Strains From Marine and Freshwater Habitats Indicates Prevalent Use of Organic Compounds. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepAnalysing thousands of data points across 46 marine and freshwater strains, this study underscores that osmomixotrophy is a common, rather than exceptional, metabolic strategy in phytoplankton. These findings challenge the autotrophic paradigm, demonstrating that organic matter acquisition is a default state with significant implications for our ...

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 ...

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

Ecological monitoring of disturbed mountain peatlands: an analysis based on desmids
Biodiversity and Conservation, 2023 Ombrogenous peat bogs at lower altitudes of the Bohemian Massif occur close to their natural climatic limits in the Northern Hemisphere. They have been significantly affected by peat extraction and severe acidification.
