VIRAL ENDOSYMPOSIS IN PARASITIC PROTOZOA: A REVIEW ARTICLE [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Egyptian Society of Parasitology
Parasitic protozoa are responsible for numerous diseases of humans and animals globally. Understandingthe factors influencing their pathogenicity and evolution is crucial for effective diseasemanagement.

Transcription of photosynthetic genes in the plant chloroplast: lessons from bacteria

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 126, Issue 5, June 2026.
SUMMARY The RNA polymerase that transcribes photosynthetic genes in the plant chloroplast is the largest known transcription enzyme across all domains of life, comprising 21 subunits of bacterial and eukaryotic origin. Recent structural analyses revealed that the core polymerase, inherited from the cyanobacterial ancestor of the chloroplast, is encased

Method for Stress Assessment of Endosymbiotic Algae in Paramecium bursaria as a Model System for Endosymbiosis

open access: yes, 2022
Endosymbiosis between heterotrophic host and microalga often breaks down because of environmental conditions, such as temperature change and exposure to toxic substances.

Mitochondrial and apicoplast genome copy abundances of haemosporidian parasites are explained by host species and parasitic lineage

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Endosymbiotic organelles, such as mitochondria and plastids, contain own remnant genomes (nucleoids), whose variable abundance in cells may be adaptive to the physiological necessities and functions of the cells.

Control of Rhizobia Endosymbiosis by Coupling ER Expansion with Enhanced UPR

open access: yesAdvanced Science
Legumes establish symbiosis with rhizobia by forming a symbiotic interface that enables cross‐kingdom exchanges of signaling molecules and nutrients. However, how host organelles interact with symbiosomes at the symbiotic interface remains elusive during

The utilization of an unconventional approach to introduce basic bacteriology in a medical school bridge program

open access: yesJournal of Microbiology & Biology Education
Bacteria form an intense portion of reading and learning for students enrolled in microbiology education. As a part of the foundational course outline of bacteriology, bacterial classification is a significant topic of discussion.

Nanothermometry in Living Cells: Physical Limits, Conceptual and Material Challenges

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 40, 18 May 2026.
Heat and temperature are fundamental to life. When nanothermometers began probing regions as small as a living cell, they triggered controversial claims of large intracellular temperature gradients. We review physical constraints energy‐conservation, entropy production, thermodynamic fluctuations, and molecular dynamics.

An Unfolding Story: AlphaFold's View on Protein Flexibility

open access: yesHelvetica Chimica Acta, Volume 109, Issue 5, May 2026.
AlphaFold confidence measures allow for detailed proteome‐wide characterization of protein flexibility. All flexibility measures increased substantially in the evolutionary transition from prokaryota to eukaryota. ABSTRACT The AlphaFold confidence measures are related to conformation distribution of the protein.

Two-Step Evolution of Endosymbiosis between Hydra and Algae

open access: yes, 2016
In the Hydra vulgaris group, only 2 of the 25 strains in the collection of the National Institute of Genetics in Japan currently show endosymbiosis with green algae. However, whether the other non-symbiotic strains also have the potential to harbor algae

Comparing Microbial Communities of Diseased and Healthy Isopora palifera Corals and Adjacent Waters at the Cocos (Keeling) Islands

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 5, May 2026.
Bacteria are not the primary cause of growth anomalies (GA) in Isopora palifera at the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. While microbial communities differ between GA‐affected and healthy corals, no specific bacterial taxa were linked to disease, suggesting that other factors, such as viruses, may drive GA onset and progression.
