Influence of prey concentration, light intensity, and temperature on the growth and ingestion of the mixotrophic dinoflagellate Pyrophacus horologium, a predator of the harmful species Heterocapsa niei

open access: yesJournal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 2, Page 606-622, April 2026.
Abstract Pyrophacus horologium belongs to the family Pyrocystaceae and was recently identified as a mixotrophic dinoflagellate capable of feeding on other dinoflagellates. In this study, the growth and feeding responses of P. horologium were investigated under various environmental conditions by providing Heterocapsa niei, its preferred prey.

Acanthamoeba and mimivirus interactions: the role of amoebal encystment and the expansion of the `Cheshire Cat' theory

open access: yes, 2016
International audienceAcanthamoeba are natural hosts for giant viruses and their life cycle comprises two stages: a trophozoite and a cryptobiotic cyst. Encystment involves a massive turnover of cellular components under molecular regulation.

Ingestion of Alexandrium pacificum Cysts by a Deposit Feeder: An Option for Ecosystem‐Based Approach Benefiting Aquaculture and Coastal Communities?

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 1, March 2026.
Harmful algal blooms caused by the paralytic shellfish toxin‐producing species Alexandrium pacificum have increased in recent years in one of the most important aquaculture regions of New Zealand, the Marlborough Sounds. Reoccurring blooms have created large cysts beds in the sediments throughout the sounds. In this region, large populations of the sea

The molecular mechanism of indoleamine-induced encystment in dinoflagellates

open access: yes, 1997
This thesis aims to elucidate the molecular mechanism of indoleamine-induced encystment in dinoflagellates. Indoleamines such as melatonin and 5-methoxytryptamine (5MT) dose- and time-dependently induced encystment in many species of dinoflagellates ...

Changes in the activity of certain enzymes of Hartmannella (Culbertson strain A-1) during encystment

open access: yes, 1971
Hartmannella (Culbertson strain A-1) was found to undergo encystment (80-90% in 72 hr) on a non-nutrient agar containing 0.015 M MgCl2 and 0.02 M taurine. Encystment was completely inhibited by 1 ×10-5 M Mitomycin C, or 1 × 10-7 M cycloheximide

Table_1_How Ciliated Protists Survive by Cysts: Some Key Points During Encystment and Excystment.doc

open access: yes, 2022
Forming cysts is a common and important bionomic strategy for microorganisms to persist in harsh environments. In ciliated protists, many species have been reported to form cysts when facing unfavorable conditions.

Experiences with dormancy in tardigrades

open access: yesJournal of Limnology, 2004
Tardigrades often colonise extreme habitats, in which they survive using both types of dormancy: quiescence and diapause. Together with nematodes and bdelloid rotifers, tardigrades are known to enter quiescence (with several forms of cryptobiosis ...

Morphological study on the encystment of the ciliated protozoan Colpoda cucullus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
application/pdfMorphological changes during resting cyst formation (encystment) of Colpoda cucullus were examined. At 1 hr after encystment induction, a number of vesicles containing the electron-dense and toluidine blue (TB) positive materials were ...
