Protistan Predators Outshine Fungi in Forest Soil Activity

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Despite extensive research on fungal communities in forest soils, our understanding of the whole eukaryotic diversity and distribution remains limited. Moreover, traditional amplicon sequencing methods often introduce severe PCR and primer biases, further hindering accurate assessment of the microbial community composition in forest soils.

Testate Amoebae Examined by Confocal and Two-Photon Microscopy: Implications for Taxonomy and Ecophysiology [PDF]

, 2017
Testate amoebae (TA) are a group of free-living protozoa, important in ecology and paleoecology. Testate amoebae taxonomy is mainly based on the morphological features of the shell, as examined by means of light microscopy or (environmental) scanning ...

Ubiquiter circovirus sequences raise challenges in laboratory diagnosis: The case of honey bee and bee mite, reptiles, and free living amoebae [PDF]

, 2015
Circoviruses of pigs and birds are established pathogens, however, the exact role of other, recently described circoviruses and circovirus-like viruses remains to be elucidated.

A Revised Understanding of Petalomonad Diversity (Petalomonadida; Euglenida) Enabled by a Cultivation Approach, With Five New Species and Two New Genera

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Euglenids are an important group of free‐living phototrophic, osmotrophic, or phagotrophic protists, with most of the phylogenetic diversity represented by phagotrophs. One major subgroup of phagotrophs is the petalomonads: rigid, often relatively small cells with few pellicle strips (usually 4–8).

Comparative Analysis of Gut Eukaryotic Communities in Three Laboratory‐Reared Cockroach Species Using Metabarcoding

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Cockroaches are known reservoirs for diverse bacterial microbiomes. However, comprehensive analyses of the eukaryotic communities within cockroaches remain limited. In this study, we selected three long‐term laboratory‐reared cockroach species (Blattella germanica, Periplaneta fuliginosa, and Periplaneta japonica) and performed metabarcoding ...

Decomposer biomass in the rhizosphere to assess rhizodposition [PDF]

, 2007
Quantification of the organic carbon released from plant roots is a challenge. These compounds of rhizodeposition are quickly transformed into CO2 and eventually bacterial biomass to be consumed by bacterivores (protozoa and nematodes).

Prevalence and diversity of Chlamydiales and other amoeba-resisting bacteria in domestic drinking water systems. [PDF]

, 2016
A growing number of human infections incriminate environmental bacteria that have evolved virulent mechanisms to resist amoebae and use them as a replicative niche. These bacteria are designated amoeba-resisting bacteria (ARB).

Life Cycle Plasticity of Colpoda aspera Fed With Petroleum Tolerant Gram‐Positive and Gram‐Negative Bacteria

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil recovery after contamination relies on the surviving microbiota to reconstruct microbial food webs. The ciliate Colpoda aspera and Brevundimonas sp., Rhizobium sp1, Rhizobium sp2 (gram‐negative), Bacillus sp1, Bacillus sp2, and Microbacterium sp.(gram‐positive) remain active after pulses of light petroleum contamination.

Editorial for the Special Issue “Advances in Acanthamoeba”

Microorganisms
Some free-living amoebae can behave as opportunistic parasites, causing rare but dangerous diseases in humans and animals, primarily amoebic keratitis, with loss of vision, and encephalitis, which is almost always fatal [...]
