Taxonomic and Functional Diversity of Heterotrophic Protists (Cercozoa and Endomyxa) from Biological Soil Crusts [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2021 Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) accommodate diverse communities of phototrophic and heterotrophic microorganisms. Heterotrophic protists have critical roles in the microbial food webs of soils, with Cercozoa and Endomyxa often being dominant groups ...

On the phenology of protists: recurrent patterns reveal seasonal variation of protistan (Rhizaria: Cercozoa and Endomyxa) communities in tree canopies [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2021 Tree canopies are colonized by billions of highly specialized microorganisms that are well adapted to the extreme microclimatic conditions, caused by diurnal fluctuations and seasonal changes.

Making sense of environmental sequencing data: Ecologically important functional traits of the protistan groups Cercozoa and Endomyxa (Rhizaria) [PDF]
Molecular Ecology Resources, 2020 We have compiled a database of functional traits for two widespread and ecologically important groups of protists, Cercozoa and Endomyxa (Rhizaria).

Revised Taxonomy and Expanded Biodiversity of the Phytomyxea (Rhizaria, Endomyxa)
Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, 2020 Phytomyxea (phytomyxids) is a group of obligate biotrophic pathogens belonging to the Rhizaria. Some phytomyxids are well studied and include known plant pathogens such as Plasmodiophora brassicae, the causal agent of clubroot disease.

Sorosphaerula nom. n. for the Plasmodiophorid Genus Sorosphaera J. Schröter 1886 (Rhizaria: Endomyxa: Phytomyxea: Plasmodiophorida) [PDF]
The Journal of eukaryotic microbiology, 2011 Sorosphaerula nom. n. is introduced to replace the phytomyxean generic name Sorosphaera J. Schröter, which is preoccupied by the foraminiferan genus Sorosphaera Brady. As it is agreed now that both the Foraminifera and the Phytomyxea belong to the Rhizaria, this homonomy within the same supergroup of eukaryotes needs to be revised.

Unveiling hidden eukaryotes: diversity of Endomyxa (Rhizaria) in coastal marine habitats
bioRxiv, 2022 Nucleic acid based studies of marine biodiversity often focus on Kingdom-level diversity. Such approaches often largely miss diversity of less studied groups, likely to harbour many unknown lineages which are likely playing significant ecological roles ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 IntroductionThere is no universally appropriate basis for delimiting species in protists, including parasites. Many molecular markers used for species delimitation are part of the ribosomal RNA (rRNA) array, with different regions of the array being used

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Functional traits are increasingly used in ecology to link the structure of microbial communities to ecosystem processes. We investigated two important protistan lineages, Cercozoa and Endomyxa (Rhizaria) in soil using Illumina sequencing and analyzed ...

Shedding light on vampires: the phylogeny of vampyrellid amoebae revisited. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 With the advent of molecular phylogenetic techniques the polyphyly of naked filose amoebae has been proven. They are interspersed in several supergroups of eukaryotes and most of them already found their place within the tree of life.

Protist diversity and community assembly in surface sediments of the South China Sea
MicrobiologyOpen, 2019 Protists are pivotal components of marine ecosystems in terms of their high diversity, but protist communities have been poorly explored in benthic environments.
