Unveiling hidden eukaryotes: diversity of Endomyxa (Rhizaria) in coastal marine habitats
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 ...

Revised Taxonomy and Expanded Biodiversity of the Phytomyxea (Rhizaria, Endomyxa)
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.

Multigene phylogeny and cell evolution of chromist infrakingdom Rhizaria: contrasting cell organisation of sister phyla Cercozoa and Retaria [PDF]
Infrakingdom Rhizaria is one of four major subgroups with distinct cell body plans that comprise eukaryotic kingdom Chromista. Unlike other chromists, Rhizaria are mostly heterotrophic flagellates, amoebae or amoeboflagellates, commonly with reticulose ...

Environmental Sequencing Fills the Gap Between Parasitic Haplosporidians and Free‐living Giant Amoebae [PDF]
Class Ascetosporea (Rhizaria; Endomyxa) comprises many parasites of invertebrates. Within this group, recent group‐specific environmental DNA (eDNA) studies have contributed to the establishment of the new order Mikrocytida, a new phylogeny and ...

Root cap is an important determinant of rhizosphere microbiome assembly [PDF]
Plants impact the development of their rhizosphere microbial communities. It is yet unclear to what extent the root cap and specific root zones contribute to microbial community assembly. To test the roles of root caps and root hairs in the establishment

Fertilization drives distinct biotic and abiotic factors in regulating functional groups of protists in a 5-year fertilization system. [PDF]
IntroductionProtists play an important role in nutrient cycling, microbiome stability and soil fertility maintenance. However, the driving force of protistan functional groups remains poorly understood in agricultural ecosystems.MethodsWe investigated ...

National-scale distribution of protists associated with sorghum leaves and roots. [PDF]
Protists, as integral constituents of the plant microbiome, are posited to confer substantial benefits to plant health and performance. Despite their significance, protists have received considerably less attention compared to other constituents of the ...

Soil protist function varies with elevation in the Swiss Alps. [PDF]
Protists are abundant and play key trophic functions in soil. Documenting how their trophic contributions vary across large environmental gradients is essential to understand and predict how biogeochemical cycles will be impacted by global changes. Here,
