A Pilot Investigation of the Hidden Communities Associated With Dryas octopetala L. (Rosaceae) in Svalbard Using DNA Metabarcoding

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 6, December 2025.
A single marker revealed a considerable diversity of organisms associate with Dryas octopetala. The rhizosphere contains more taxa than the phyllosphere. Some taxa are cited for the first time in the Svalbard Archipelago. The use of different DNA marker will increase diversity data in the Svalbard Archipelago.

Temporal and Spatial Survey on the Abundance of Amoebae and Bacteria in an Estuary and the Role of Environmental Parameters

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2025.
Free‐living amoebae and bacteria were monitored along a salinity gradient over 1 year. Naegleria and Vibrio were the most represented genera, with salinity and dissolved oxygen identified as key factors structuring amoebae diversity and associated bacterial communities under changing environmental conditions.

Dead or Alive? Challenges in Discriminating Dietary From Host‐Associated Community via RNA and DNA Metabarcoding in a Filter Feeder

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 5, September–October 2025.
The present manuscript uses time series of highly standardized samples of a freshwater and a marine mussel from Germany to explore chances and challenges of identifying their associated community composition by a parallel DNA and RNA metabarcoding approach.

Discocelia Plataet Sp. n., a Small Incertae Sedis Cercozoan Flagellate

open access: yesJournal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 72, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
ABSTRACT Cercozoa = Filosa (Rhizaria, SAR) is one of the largest rhizarian subgroups and consists of a diverse assemblage of amoeboid and flagellated protists. They are ecologically significant in microbial food webs, widely diverse, and even abundant in soils and deep marine sediments according to environmental sequencing.

Trophic Plasticity of the Invasive Redbelly Tilapia (Coptodon zillii) in China Inferred From DNA Metabarcoding Analysis

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
The feeding patterns of invasive populations of C. zillii in different habitats and seasons within a large‐scale geographic area (spanning 9.86° latitude and 10.47° longitude) in China were directly compared. ABSTRACT The redbelly tilapia (Coptodon zillii) is one of the most dangerous invasive alien fishes in the world.

Macroalgal Biofilm Harbours a Wide Diversity of Parasitic Protists With Distinct Temporal Dynamics

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 5, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Marine macroalgae surfaces create a nutrient‐rich environment that promotes the formation of epiphyte biofilms. Biofilms are complex systems that facilitate ecological interactions within the community, yet parasitism remains largely unexplored.

The Ribosomal Operon Database: A Full‐Length rDNA Operon Database Derived From Genome Assemblies

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Current rDNA reference sequence databases are tailored towards shorter DNA markers, such as parts of the 16/18S marker or the internally transcribed spacer (ITS) region. However, due to advances in long‐read DNA sequencing technologies, longer stretches of the rDNA operon are increasingly used in environmental sequencing studies to increase ...

Life cycle strategies in free‐living unicellular eukaryotes: Diversity, evolution, and current molecular tools to unravel the private life of microorganisms

open access: yesJournal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 71, Issue 6, November/December 2024.
Abstract An astonishing range of morphologies and life strategies has arisen across the vast diversity of protists, allowing them to thrive in most environments. In model protists, like Tetrahymena, Dictyostelium, or Trypanosoma, life cycles involving multiple life stages with different morphologies have been well characterized.

National‐scale distribution of protists associated with sorghum leaves and roots

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 16, Issue 5, October 2024.
Significant differences were observed in the diversity and community composition of protists between sorghum leaves and roots. Leaf protist communities were primarily dominated by consumers, while root protists were predominantly parasites. The structure of the leaf protist community was largely influenced by mean annual precipitation, whereas soil pH ...

Keystone predatory protists are associated closely with ammonia‐oxidizing microorganisms in an acidic Ultisol

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2024.
Abstract Predatory protists are widely recognized as critical biotic forces driving soil microbial communities, but their top‐down controls on ammonia‐oxidizing microorganisms (AOMs), the major players in nitrification, are largely unresolved. Here, we investigated the communities of predatory protists and their associations with AOMs using high ...
